The seventh day was a day of rest. It was God's Sabbath, and He blessed it and made it holy. The Lord set apart the Sabbath unto Himself and it represented completion, perfection, and rest. God did not rest because He was weary but because He had finished creating a perfect world and was satisfied with all that He had done. We who are saved through faith have already trusted in Christ for salvation, and in so doing have not only found our rest in Him already, but as the writer to the Hebrews reminds us, there remains a Sabbath rest for ALL the people of God – an eternal Sabbath rest in the ages to come, that is ours through our faith in Christ Jesus our Savior. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is our Sabbath rest and that in Him, we have peace with God and the peace of God that passes understanding. Thank You that we are a new creation in Christ, and eternal rest is the promised possession of all who have trusted in Him for salvation. We pray that many more will come to an understanding that faith in Christ’s sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection has secured for them eternal rest. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
