Some years ago I read in a psychology journal of a wide-spread, rather expensive survey that determined that man needed to rest one day in every seven. The Tokyo City Zoo discovered the animals were showing signs of stress until they let them have a day of rest from human interaction. Amazing how humans discover what God knew all along. Early on, the Bible declares, \u201cOn the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested . . . Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work . . .\u201d (Genesis 2:2-3). The Bible speaks often of a \u201cSabbath-rest\u201d (Ex. 16:23; Lev. 23:24) and even promises an eternal Sabbath rest (Heb. 4:9). Everyone needs a Sunday, a Sabbath, even if, due to job and other responsibilities, it doesn\u2019t come on Sunday. Albert Schweitzer, a German\u2014and later French\u2014theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary in Africa, said, \u201cDo not let Sunday be taken from you. If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Join with me this week in praying for the following global requests:
\n\u2022 Pray for Mark and Susie as they return to Prague following their stateside assignment.
\n\u2022 Pray for Joe as he is forced to move out of Donetsk, Ukraine due to the Russian invasion and control.
\n\u2022 Pray for \u201cThe Hope Festival to be held June 6-8 in Tbilisi. They are expecting more than 10,000 people from all over Georgia. This is the first evangelistic event of this magnitude to be held in this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
