Be Still Sundays

Will you be still today, and tune out the pressures and stressors in the world, and hear from God?  I know, we should do this everyday, at some point in the day, but will you just start here, today, now?  I understand that there is nothing magical about the name Sunday, except it's the day we've set aside to rest, like God instructed in His Word. Why do you think that He wants us to rest one day?   Do you suppose that He knew how busy our lives would become, and He wanted us to purposely stop, tune in to Him, reflect on the week, meditate on the Word, take our cares and concerns to Him, worship Him intentionally, praise Him for what He has done and will do, among other things.

Do you think, like Him, He wants us to rest and observe what we've done and decide whether "it is good?" You know, He looked at His work and decided "it was good."  Did Almighty, all-powerful God really need to rest?  No, of course not.  He is God, but, He chose to, and He can do that.  If He chooses to do that, then don't you think that He has a purpose for rest and intends for us to do it too?  How do you recharge, refocus, and renew for the rest of the week?  We don't know what we're going to face, but we can get with God and ask Him, on our resting day, to meet us every day of the new week coming, and help us through.  We can use the things that we reflected and meditated on, on our rest day, to carry us through.  What do you think?
