A Time to Reflect

‘Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.’  
(Exodus 20:8)

One of the great gifts that the Bible gives us is the concept of a weekly rest,
not only for ourselves but for all who work for us. We certainly need such a time for physical,
mental and spiritual renewal and refreshment. It is wise, therefore, not to so fill it with things
to do that we cannot think about the great works of God in creation and salvation
and our own part in them. It is good also to consider how we can bless others,
not least by meeting with our fellow believers to worship the living God and to love one another.

Question for thought: Is a weekly day of rest part of my schedule?

Loving Lord we bring before you members in the Diocese of Masindi Kitara in Uganda.
As they care for families and communities in many ways may they share the comfort
and hope of knowing you. We also pray for the Diocese of North Queensland and for Kristi Day
as Diocesan President. May members grow in their love and knowledge of you.  Amen.
