forgo sleep

Friday August 30^th, Luke 13:  14 The meeting-place president, furious because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the congregation, "Six days have been defined as work days. Come on one of the six if you want to be healed, but not on the seventh, the Sabbath."   Sometimes the established order of things needs to be shaken up a bit.  Sometimes the healing that is needed is to spend the day in worship.  If one were to try to work all the time and forgo sleep day after day, soon, among other things, you would become very unproductive.  So it is with the Sabbath.  Without it, all those things we strive for in life just become a blur.  In the end, it is we, not God, who loses.
