Do you want to know why I said, \”For six days you shall work but on the seventh day you shall rest?\” And why I command you to keep the Sabbath day holy and set it apart for Me? You are not home yet. The world is not your Home. When someone is away from their loved ones they often look at a picture of them or bring along a keepsake to remember the place and people they Love. That is what the Sabbath is to be for you. It is a reminder that you have a real, eternal Home and Family, waiting for you to return after your long journey on the earth. Your real Home is a place of rest and peace. So the Sabbath is to be a reminder of your Home through rest and peace. The Sabbath is for those who are pulled away by worldliness or discouragement or pain, out of the focus of My Love and their real Home. The Sabbath is to be a little of Heaven on earth for those who are homesick. The Sabbath is to be a remembrance of Me and your place with Me. Use the Sabbath in the same way you use December 25th. It is a day to bring your reality back to where it belongs…in Me. Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. John 17:13 But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. 14 have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 1 Peter 2:11 Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cozy in it. Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Philippians 3: 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, Hebrews 13:14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. John 14:11 Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. 12 In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?… Revelations 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.\”
