The Hardest Thing To Do = Do Nothing

to-do-list-nothingToday is a Sabbath Saturday for Stevens Family Inc and Soul City Church.  It’s 1 day out of 7 where we STOP.  REST.  REFLECT.  REFILL.  And TRUST God to do what is his to do in the first place.

When I don’t Sabbath I assume one of two things (if not both):

  1. I’m the ONLY ONE who can do all of this
  2. It ALL depends on me
  • The First Assumption precludes OTHERS from the work God called has called us to in community.
  • The Second Assumption precludes GOD from the work He created us for.

So instead of doing that…today, we’re choosing to do nothing.

Happy Sabbath!

    Great encouragement to sabbath! I need it. Growing up in a rural, midwest culture, sabbath rests were simply a given, part of the rhythm of life. But that went out the window when I moved to the Windy-City burbs (that's my excuse and I'm stick'n with it).
