Even God Took a Sabbath

Tonight, our KBC leadership met at the Olive Garden for the annual staff/elder/deacon dinner. I must confess that our church really has great leaders. We tend to hold out for men and women of integrity and have never been sorry for sticking to that standard. After the dinner was over, I thought about the importance of leaders celebrating God's victories in the church - and how the devil does everything to keep those celebrations from taking place. Even God took time after he created to appreciate His creation and call it good. Take time to notice what God is really doing in your life. Don't take the blessings of God for granted. If you have a daily relationship with Jesus Christ, a godly wife, loving children and a caring church that follows God's leading - you are already wealthy beyond most people's wildest dreams. Don't let the devil divert your attention with the attractions of this world, only to ridicule you at the end of your life. Choose to build sabbath moments into your day, sabbath days into your week, and sabbath weeks into your year. God is doing good things all around you. Take time to notice.
