Jesus Only: Part OneNäide

Week 4 - The Mark of Maturity

This Week’s Devotional Written by John Williams

This Week’ Scripture Focus is Colossians 1:24-29

Day 1 - Sunday - Rest Day

 Enjoy Your Sabbath Rest 

Everyone looks forward to time off. Work (paid and unpaid) is good, but it needs boundaries. Allowing work to trample on other areas of life disrupts the balance we need.

Are you feeling the effects of overwork?

Take time today for the gift of Sabbath, a day to:

Stop Work – If we only stop when we’re finished, we will never stop.

Enjoy Rest – What are  activities that restore and replenish you?

Practice Delight – How can you celebrate what God has given you (nature, food, people)?

Contemplate God – Remember, we are not taking time off from God; we are drawing closer to Him. Sabbath is an invitation to see the invisible (God’s design and hand) in the visible (your life). Gratitude is often the response.

What are you thankful for today?

Verbalize that to God as you connect with Him today.
