I
recently realized just how important the Sabbath Day is. I admit that I tended to disrespect it
(watching football was often the way I spent most of my day on Sunday), but
after realizing that I needed some extra help I began to live the Sabbath
better and more in accord with how I thought that it should be lived. What I have learned by doing this is that the
Sabbath brings a number of blessings that I wouldn’t have expected.
One of
those blessings is a break from those things that I am struggling with. If I am struggling with a temptation, but I
have been regularly keeping the Sabbath, I find that when Sunday comes around I
am given relief (or added strength) to resist that temptation. It is a break in
the cycle, so to speak – it is almost like a reset to my soul, which gives me a
greater power to start over and work harder to live to be like Christ.
