On Sabbath I embrace my limits. God is God. He is indispensable. I am his creature. The world continues working fine when I
stop…. We stop on Sabbaths because God is on the throne, assuring us the world
will not fall apart if we cease our activities…. Ultimately we will die with
countless unfinished projects and goals. That’s okay. God is at work taking
care of the universe. He manages quite well without us. When we are sleeping,
he is working. Every Sabbath reminds us to “be still, and know that he is God.”
The core spiritual issue in stopping revolves around trust. Will God take care
of us and our concerns if we obey him by stopping to keep the Sabbath?
