“So I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live. Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. “Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭20:10-13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because the Lord says, “Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.” I have a difficult time being absolutely dependent on Jesus. Inevitably, I start thinking that it’s better if I’m in control of something and that always leads me down a bad path. However, the Sabbath is a weekly reminder that God is God. He gave us our abilities, intelligence, parents, country, time in history, etc. How wonderful it is when I remember He is in control and I’m not. Please pray that we and our friends enjoy being abundantly dependent on God today. Please pray for Jon and Teddy’s group.
