About this Episode
Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Mark 2:27 which says "Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
"Let's start learning how to step away for a day rather than starting again.
I love this verse. It's a beautiful gift God gave us. He didn't just create a rule for us to have to follow. He gave us the gift of slowing down and not working at least once a week so that we can surrender our worries, our works, our plans to Him. If you can't take a full day, take 6 hours, or take an hour. The point is to honor your time and to spend it wisely.
God can do so much more with your 6 days than you can do with 7. If you step away from your ongoing problems and messes and projects, you'll come back with a renewed sense of clarity."
