Thoughts For Today

“…Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it…” (Psalms 127:1). In Isaiah 56, God makes mighty promises to Sabbath-keepers. Verse 4 and 5 tells us that the eunuch who loves and keeps the Sabbath is promised a place in His house and a name better than that of sons and daughters. Eunuchs do not have the natural ability to reproduce or pro-create, so these verses speak of supernatural blessings. In other words, what the eunuch can’t do for himself, God will do for him. The same chapter gives a great promise to the foreigner (or Gentile) that chooses to identify with the God of Israel. As he keeps the Sabbath, God will bring him to the holy mountain, make him joyful in the house of prayer, accept his offerings, and make the house a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:6-8). Isaiah 56 continues in verse 8 by saying, “The Lord, God Who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, ‘Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.’” It’s all about pointing men to Jesus. As He is lifted up, all men will be gathered to Him. We believe that is exactly what will happen for us, as a body, as we embark upon a rediscovery of the Sabbath. Ask the Lord to reveal a new and dynamic way for you and your family to embrace the Sabbath. We believe God’s Word that the benefits will be great.
