“And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” Mark 2:27. God made the Sabbath for us to rest. God knows that we need rest. We are to work heartily as for the Lord, but at the same time we have to take care of the body God gave us. God knows that our bodies need rest, and at the same time He knows that our souls need rest. God made the Sabbath for our souls to be refreshed in Him. What happens when you go to church? Your Spirit finds rest, it finds renewal. You are filled with God’s Word and you are reminded that through Him you can endure whatever the week may hold. God uses that time to refuel your spirit. In Psalms 23 David mentions that His cup runs over. When we go to church and are able to fellowship, it feels like our soul is going to run over with the joy of the Lord. During that time when we are being fed the Word of God our bodies are often at rest. Our bodies find relief and in that moment God is providing relief to our souls. This is why it is so critical to go to church whenever you can. Persecution of Christianity is coming to America and it is already here in a lot of places, in order for us to endure, we have to hold on tightly to God’s Word, and His Word does say for us to not forsake assembling together. God Bless!
