“If you keep your feet from trampling the Sabbath, from pursuing your own interests on My Holy Day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and YHVH’s holy day honorable; if you honor it by not going your own ways and seeking your own pleasure or speaking idle words, then you will delight yourself in YHVH, and I will make you ride over the heights of the land, and let you feast on the heritage of your father Jacob. For the mouth of YHVH has spoken
” (Isaiah 58:13-14).
Messiah said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). Sabbath is a special time in which Yah wants us to remember the spiritual feast that is the heritage of our father Jacob. He wants us delight in His love for us, to be lifted up to the heights as we dwell on His promised blessing to the children of Israel.
May it be so for all of us!
Shabbat Shalom!
