So Pastor Josh today is going to be wrapping up our series on
reimagining rest. I wish it could last forever
because it's been so great. And so this morning's reading
comes from Isaiah 58. 13 through 14, it's in your hand out if you
keep your feet from breaking, the Sabbath and from doing as
you please on my holy day if you call the Sabbath a delight and
the Lord's holy day. Honorable and if you honor it
by, not going your own way and not doing as You please or
speaking Idle Words, then you will find the joy in the Lord
and I will cause you to ride and Triumph on the heights of the
land and feast on the inheritance of your father.
Jacob for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
This is the word of the Lord. Thanks Becky.
Hey everybody. Welcome again to reality.
Gonna get myself situated here. If we have not met, my name is
Josh, I'm one of the pastor's here, our communities are just
over a month into merging. We had two churches the table
and reality which have come together.
So lots of people that I'm still getting to know if I don't know
you yet. I'd like to we Endeavor to be a
family that can really journey together through the highs and
the lows that can can share and learn.
Practice the presence of Jesus together.
And so if if you aren't connected here, whether you're
an OG been here since day one, or this is your first time, we
just want to say, welcome, we'd love to help you get plugged in
and connected well. So come grab me after the
service is what I'm trying to say as as backyard.
He said this morning we are wrapping up a series on
reimagining rest. We have officially made it to
summer in Boston, as you can feel very Clearly in this
Auditorium right now, it is starting to get warm and
starting it muggy out there and school is out.
You know, many of us are shifting or downshifting or at
least adjusting into a new phase in a season.
And so we've been looking at scripture to tell us both about
rest in general and also about Sabbath in particular to really
look at and consider the scriptural practice of Sabbath
to see how it informs what it looks like for us to In the way
of Jesus. Now I know that Sabbath isn't
something that is familiar to all of us.
It's not something that I grew up practicing, even even as a
Christian. So to put it simply Sabbath, is
it's a day of rest. It's a 24-hour period, each week
that set aside to stop to rest, connect and worship for the
Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible, Sabbath was a command,
but for us, it's an invitation, an invitation that helps us.
To resist the defaults of our culture and live more fully into
the way of Jesus. And, and this morning, as we
wrap up this series, in particular, I want to invite us
to consider what it looks like to practice Sabbath as Delight
to practice Sabbath as the light.
But before we turn our attention to that, I have an exercise for
you all, we're going to do some reflection this morning.
So if you have a journal and pain gold star for you, pull
that out right now. If like most of you you don't
the notes app on your on your phone should work, just fine.
Pull that out. You can feel like I'm is this
literally, it's attached to my shoes.
I'm taking this thing off. Okay.
I was like why is this chord following me?
Um, but go ahead and grab something to journal with, to
reflect with the the backside of the Liturgy handout works fine
or worst case you can make a mental note, but I'm going to
ask a series of questions and you won't have time.
We're going to go through and pretty quick, you won't have
time to actually write them down, but just consider them in
your mind. And then make a note, you may,
you may just jot down a single word, that cues something for
you. We're just kind of doing a
mental inventory, this morning around rest.
So, first question for you, is this what addressed look like in
your family growing up, what address look like in your
family, growing up? Where their physical space is
dedicated to connection and conversation for you.
Maybe around the dinner table, a fire pit or a front porch where
there any physical spaces that were really dedicated to
connection and conversation in your family?
And where there are certain times when work or distractions
were out of balance spaces, when the TV was off, phones were
away. This was a dedicated time.
Were there any rituals that were part of rest for you?
Maybe it was a place, you'd go a tradition of some kind in your
family or even a meal that you would share together.
That symbolize or indicated. Hey, this is a, this is
distinct. This is different from our usual
Cadence. This is a moment of rest.
And how often did you rest growing up?
Was it every evening just on weekends, maybe every few
months. Maybe it all came to one
vacation that happened once a year.
What was the Cadence of rest for you?
Who did you rest with did rest look like time alone or with
others and and if with others who was present for that was it
just you know your immediate nuclear family did extended
family, participate. Was there an auntie or an uncle
or a grandma or a grandpa who is regularly part of that was your
church Community part of your rhythms of rest.
And anyway who was who was invited, who went on vacation
with you, who participated in your your times of rest
And what did these times away? Look like, where they slow and
quiet or filled to the brim with Adventure and experiences.
Or was it just normal routines with dad's sending emails from
somewhere else, right? What did what did these times of
rest? Look like
Last question. How about now?
what does rest look like for you today in this, in this moment,
the season this year and where do you notice parallels between,
how you rested growing up your family culture and what your
current practices are All right, group time.
So everybody turn to a neighbor, some of you who are sitting by
yourself and have to slide, but grab somebody else nearby and
we're going to take one minute to share.
One thing that you're noticing about how you rest, okay?
So turn to a neighbor and share. One thing that you're noticing
about how you rest. We're going to take one minute.
So groups of two or preferred 3 & A Pinch will do.
But one thing that you're noticing about how you rest will
take one minute, We're halfway through so second
person, if you haven't started already.
Okay, five seconds. And I'm going to start talking
again. So everybody, thanks for thanks
for taking just a minute to reflect, you know, it's
interesting. I think so often.
We're not actually aware of our culture of some of our values of
our rhythms until we take a moment to step back and actually
reflect. It's so interesting to notice
the ways that the things have lived just under the surface up
until we take a chance to look at them.
When I did this reflection, it was striking to me how little
rest as part of my family culture.
Candidly, I don't think that I'm particularly good at rest.
I'm still working on this. This is something I'm figuring
out. My typical practice has been to
work furiously, right up until whatever that break is.
That is scheduled, in fact, sometimes I think I work extra
hard because I know I have a break coming and so I'll go
flying up into it and then just crash into it, totally depleted
and exhausted. In fact, sometimes this has been
bad enough that Actually like day one of vacation, I will get
sick. This was a joke for a little
while, not a very funny joke because it happened like two or
three years in a row and it was like, wow.
Okay, I'm really like, I'm waiting for vacation and just
trying to get there and then slamming because anybody else
had any experience like this just me, okay.
See you in a few hands out there.
You know, another thing that I noticed about how I rest is I
considered this is that I'm I'm a maximizer because like I want
to Um, eyes all the time. I want to make it as meaningful
as possible. Which for me means having as
many experiences with the people, I'm with, as we can
possibly Jam in, this was showing up.
Unfortunately, on my recent family trip to spend time with
my family in Atlanta Allie and I and Ava went down to be with my
parents and my brother and his family and you know, I was the
stand or the Taskmaster, I don't know, for doing all the things
right. It was like Okay, let's go to
the pool. Let's take the kids to an indoor
play Space. Let's, let's go to the park.
Oh, it's nap time. Great!
Let's get in a board game. Let's, let's have Mom, share,
like, her whole life story. Let's, let's do all the things
and at one point my Dad pulled me aside and he's like, hey, I
don't know if you know this, but your brother's annoyed with you
right now, maybe it hadn't occurred to you, but we're like
supposed to be on vacation and you're rushing everyone all the
time. Like this is not, this is not
fun for the rest of it. Could you like chill out a
little bit? Oops, you know it was it was it
was another another reminder of what it looks like when my
defaults are on autopilot and my, you know, my intentions were
good. I wanted us to spend meaningful
quality family time together, but I wasn't creating what I
wanted. I was just going with the
defaults of my wiring and and I would even say of our culture
Because, you know, as I look around, we live in a hustle
culture, do we not, you know, it's kind of as kind of a Wiz
Khalifa Work Hard Play Hard kind of a thing, right?
It's we go hard hard at work, and then we go hard hard at
play. And this, this works for me
naturally because this is my natural wiring, but, but it gets
tiring. I mean, Boston is an ambitious
striving, hurry place. If you're from here, you may not
even realize that fully until you go.
Go somewhere else, but we fill our lives up, we serve on boards
in our free time and take night classes to get another degree.
You know, we have our kids enrolled in 17 different
programs so that every free minute is scheduled, we're going
and going so fast. And then when we get to
vacation, we go hard with vacation to our lives are full
of good things but they're they're overfull packed to the
brim and overflowing In Christian tradition, playing
hard has another name. Gluttony.
In the 4th Century, evagrius of pontus was a Christian monk from
modern-day turkey, who was a student of scripture and people
and he was, he was really reflecting on observing human
Tendencies and behaviors and both in himself and his others
and he began to catalog. And categorize some of the
disorder desires that he saw in scripture, and playing out all
around him. And, and one of these impulses,
that if a griest noted was gluttony, Now, when I hear the
word go out the I just think about overeating.
But for evagrius gluttony wasn't just or maybe even primarily
about food consumption. Gluttony was about a posture of
the soul that sought to satisfy longing.
By maximizing pleasure.', the soul that sat sought to satisfy
our longing by maximizing pleasure.
This morning, we're in Isaiah Chapter 58 and and this text in
our in scripture is part of kind of a broader conversation in the
final movement of this, whole journey that Isaiah takes this
on in, which he is contrasting, the wicked and denouncing their
way of life. And he's contrasting that with
the people of God, with the righteous and the way of life
that God invites us into And before we get to the prophets
commandment on Sabbath, which was read for us earlier in
Chapter 58, the prophet is going off on the wicked, he's
announcing their behavior, their false religion.
And one of the things that he denounces in chapter 56, 11 and
12 is, is he denounces their practice of gluttony?
He doesn't use that word, but he describes the wicked as, as like
dogs with Mighty appetites who never have enough.
It goes on to caricature them and you can almost hear kind of
a mocking tone in verse 12. When he says, come each one
cried, let's get wine. Let's drink our fill of beer and
tomorrow will be like, today or even far better.
I think I heard that driving home through Southie last night
like okay, no, no shade to Southie.
But, you know, like sometimes this is a real thing that's
still happening in our culture, isn't it?
An ancient Eastern mythology, there is the concept of the
hungry, ghosts. Some of you may have heard of
this, the hungry ghosts is this mythological creature.
That has a cavernous belly, a cavernous stomach, but a tiny,
and shriveled neck, and mouth, and because of this bizarre
configuration, the Hungry Ghost is always hungry.
It's ravenous, it's eating eating eating constantly
indulging and indulging and indulging in no matter how much
it eats it can never be satisfied, it can never be full.
I think evagrius was thinking about this kind of thing when he
wrote If you give yourself over to the desire for food, nothing
will suffice to fulfill your pleasure for the desire for
food. It's a fire that ever takes in
and is ever in Flames. This dude lived a long time ago,
but he knew what's up and some of you just sidebar for the
Nerds out. There evagrius is thinking, went
on to become foundational for both, the Theology of the seven
deadly sins, and the Enneagram Which many of you are familiar
with but this is so much of our culture.
It's a chasing more faster. Better bigger, trying to
maximize pleasure by consuming more eat more food, do more
things, buy more stuff, visit more places collect all the
experiences. I think this is is gluttony work
hard play hard? And isn't it interesting?
That these two extremes are really like two sides of a coin.
They actually reinforce each other and come from the same
disorder drive to fill everything the striving.
This chasing. After that, we hope will somehow
fill the cavernous vacuum that we feel inside based on this,
this false hope that if we do enough, if we accomplished
enough if we experience Off that.
That somehow all of our desire will be satisfied and so work
hard play hard. And it's in Striking contrast to
this that we find in scripture this invitation to Sabbath in
Isaiah 58. In our text today.
As I mentioned the profit is not only denouncing the wicked but
he's also pointing towards a vision for the future of God's
people. And as he does.
So he is a he is he's inviting people into the practice of
Sabbath earlier in Chapter 58. He talks about Justice and
integrity, there's a lot more that we're not getting into.
That is also important and I just encourage you to go read
that some other time but I want to draw your attention
specifically to what he says in verse 13.
And Isaiah 58:13. He says if you keep your feet
from breaking the Sabbath from doing as you please on my holy
day if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord's Day.
Honorable if you honor it by, not going your own way and not
doing as you please or speaking Idle Words, then you will find
your joy in the Lord. What a striking promise.
The prophet here is essentially saying, if you'll set aside this
one day, this one 24-hour period a week.
If you'll set them apart as distinct and unique, and
reserved for me, if you'll receive this practice of Sabbath
not as a burden, but a gift, you will experience a fullness of
joy and Delight. This word delight here, which
were really keying in on this morning, refers to something
that is lavish something, that's luxurious something, in which we
relish, and find enjoyment, and it shouldn't come as a surprise
to find the word delight in in concert with the word Sabbath.
In fact, John Mark, Comer notes that the Hebrew word for Shabbat
primarily means to cease or to stop, but it can also be
translated to Delight. Isn't that interesting?
This word has almost this dual meaning, or this dual
imagination of not only stopping, but also of getting
joy in God and our lives, in this world, Now, I don't know
about you but I make up my hunch is that Delight is probably not
the first word that you would connect with Sabbath.
Right, or with Christianity, in general.
I mean too often when we think of Sabbath or our faith, I think
many of us, I certainly have growing up kind of imagined
something glow more Grim, something where you have to kind
of clenched and be a little uncomfortable, and be really
devout and serious and, and somehow, you know, put on this
this Pious faiths and think serious thoughts.
Apparently, the people in Isaiah's time had this same kind
of misconception, because actually, this is the exact kind
of posture that Isaiah rebukes earlier in the chapter and verse
58, verse 5, he's poking fun at their.
Gloomy participation in religious ritual and listen to
what he asked sarcastically here.
He says, is this the kind of fast that I have chosen only a
day for a man to Humble himself. Is it only for for Bowing one?
Is head like a reed for lying in sack cloth and Ashes.
Is that what you call a fast today?
Acceptable to the Lord. The prophet is saying here this
he said God is not looking for you to just perform some kind of
extreme Act of Devotion to win his favor.
It's not all about how Pious and religious you are.
No God is longing for an authenticity in a reality to our
faith and part of that is actually a delight and a joy
Sabbath. Sabbath ought to be for us like
a holiday that comes once a week and and this this invitation
Shinto Delight actually fits perfectly.
When we have a true picture of what God himself is like, see
God tells his people. If you trust me, if you trust me
with this day, I will bless you in verses 11 and 14.
God describes here by mouth of Isaiah.
The lavish blessings that he is eager to pour out on his people.
When they show up in true faith. God wants to satisfy your needs.
Verse 11 tells us, you'll be like a well-watered.
Garden a spring whose Waters never fail.
And then in verse 14 he says alcoholic cause you to ride on
the heights of the land and to Feast on the inheritance of your
father. Now these words were written to
the nation of Israel but I don't think God's heart beat.
I don't think his posture has changed towards us because at
the bottom of all, of this flowery language is a profound
theological. Truth, God loves you.
He Delights in you. I don't think the Church Father
Saint irenaeus was off when he wrote the glory of God is Man
Fully Alive. Fully Alive.
What does it look like for you to be fully Alive friends?
What I'm trying to tell you this morning is that God takes joy in
human flourishing. God is a good dad, and he wants
his kids to experience good things.
He longs to bless you and for you to experience the goodness
of his creation and this makes sense, because this is, this is
God's posture, this is who he is, he is a God who Delights in
Genesis in the pattern for Sabbath.
We see that the god worked 6 days and then he kicks back,
right? He took a break, he inhaled and
looked at everything and said, this is very good.
He said it's very good. God takes breaks, he takes
moments to enjoy the goodness of his creation.
So why don't we Friends. I think some of us and my myself
first among them that need to repent.
Like, we need to repent too. Often we go through the world
dejected or uptight, anxious or judgmental.
I mean, can you imagine what it would do to our witness in this
city? What it would do in our
families? In our friend groups, if what we
were known for as followers of Jesus was joy and Delight.
Can you imagine like sounds pretty nice to just live in
that, right? I can imagine that that would
make a pretty big difference in and this is consistent with
scripture like when when Paul goes to talk about the fruits of
the spirit when he, when he sets out the characteristics of
someone marked, by the spirit of God, the first thing he says is
love and the second thing he says is joy.
Like, that's no accident. Our lives are not intended to be
glum and gloomy, they're intended to be marked by a
delight and a joy. Comer says, Sabbath is not just
that you stop working and sit on the couch for a day every week.
It's about cultivating an environment and atmosphere to
enjoy your life in the world. And your God, a mode of being
Last week in our series, Richard talked about how worship invites
us to connect with God into a posture of worship and intimacy.
He talked about how how God Delights in us and wants to be
present with us and and friends. I think it's beautiful here
because Delight what we're talking about today.
A practice of delight and a practice of worship.
Go hand in hand, right? They go together.
I love how c.s. Lewis talked about this.
He has this beautiful image in one of his writings.
He says, any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you
something about the sun and a patch of sunlight.
Coming through the trees will show you something about the
Sun. Which you could never get from
reading books on astronomy. In the same pure way.
Pure and spontaneous Pleasures are patches of God light in the
woods of our experience. Have you ever considered that
like Every Time We Touch a good and beautiful thing in the
world, every time we experience pleasure, it is an invitation to
just as when you see the sun beams fall on the forest floor,
your eye is caught by the beam itself and goes back up to the
Sun to travel. That same Journey from the
goodness of your life, from the things that you are appreciating
and finding to be beautiful to go back up to the giver of all
good things. In Worship.
Delight and worship are inseparable.
But so many of us are missing out because we're not entering
into Delight, we're not entering into worship.
Instead, we're chasing trying to satisfy a soul need with
physical stuff. And maybe it's like material
Goods, maybe it's experiences but we're in this striving
posture of more more. I need I need more.
Even the goes even when we take a break like even when we go on
vacation, this internal conversation this internal
motivator doesn't stop right when we go on vacation half the
time we're not really present, right?
We're thinking about the to-do lists back home, we're taking
photographs to post on Instagram and take Top to show off and to
perform for some other audience. Like, we're losing the ability
to actually be present in the moment and to experience the
goodness of God, right here in our lives that already exists.
And instead we go chasing these other bigger and better
experiences. Maybe if I can go to this
concert, if I could go to this place.
And if I could could take this vacation and somehow, my soul
would be filled. And the answer isn't in bigger
or better. Because what we're solving for
is not primarily a need that comes from outside of us.
It's a shift that we need to make inside of us.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it.
I'm not trying to talk you out of a caishen friends.
But what I am trying to do is I'm trying to invite you into a
practice of delight. And here's the thing about
Delight, Delight is not determined by the Grandeur of
your experience. This is really good news.
Like you don't have to have some, some big momentous thing.
You don't need to travel to Monaco.
It doesn't demand a cottage on the cape or a villa on the
vineyard, right? You can collect all the
experiences. Play hard do all the things in
still miss out on rest and Delight.
If you're not present in it or you can experience the light in
small everyday things, right where you are.
So there's a beautiful illustration of this that I'd
like for us to actually enter into an experience together and
for this I have some volunteers strategically planted around the
room who are going to become going around and passing out a
raisin. You are going to need a raise in
this morning. If you are a volunteer with
raisins, please begin, Distributing them at this time.
So there are these little boxes try and avoid germs, you can
dump them, whatever is needed, once you get your raise and pass
it on, you only need one and don't eat it immediately.
All right. And this practice that I want us
to experiment with together with actually comes from, from Dave
Potter and the world of mindfulness.
But I think it's a beautiful illustration of exactly what I'm
talking about today. All right.
If you don't have a raisin in your hand, yet, please raise
your hand so that someone can find you with a raisin.
Everybody needs one before we can continue.
Everybody have a raisin. It's okay if you have to but you
got to have at least one. All right.
So I want you to just hold the, hold the Raisin in your hand,
hold it out in the palm of your hand for a moment here, and I
want you to pretend that you are an alien from Mars and you have
never before in all of your life, seen a raisin.
Really look at it. Like, I want you to examine it
almost like a scientist, would Notice if your raisin has some
crevasses. Some indentations.
You can turn it over to see how the light hits it.
And even the different shades that might be present in your
raisin. Often we think of raisins of
like black or I don't know, I think of them as purple, but
yours might have Flex or brown or of gold as well.
And this raised in here that you're holding in your hand is
extraordinary. Simple thing that's kind of the
point this morning, but it's also like a crazy Majestic,
amazing thing. This is Raising didn't always
exist as a raisin. It was a grape and a Vineyard
somewhere and that grape needed certain things to survive and to
grow it needed Sun, it needed soil, it needed water whether
from the sky or from irrigation. If you look really closely at
it, you might be able to see the place where the stem was see if
you can find. Find that.
The stem is basically the umbilical cord for this raisin.
The place where all the nutrients from Sun and soil came
and poured into it. This raisin Came To You by way
of an entire ecosystem of care. Not only in the present, but in
the past, there were there were plants and animals that died.
There was fertilizer that all came into this.
This raisin that you hold in your hand, you're looking at the
fruits of years. And then this raised in while it
was still, a great was picked by some labor or maybe it was put
on a sheet of paper somewhere and allowed to dry.
It says, on the box son made. So I suspect that it was put out
in the sun and allowed to dry over the course of weeks until
it got the wrinkles that we see here today and then somebody
somehow they gathered this up they packaged it in some way,
took it to a packaging plant, put it in these tiny little red
boxes. Then it was put on another truck
and taken to a grocery store. I mean, this raisin has been on
a whole journey. surprisingly cheap, when you consider, So
notice this raisin in a fresh way.
It's a fruit that was imbued with sun and sky and nutrients
the labors of Pickers and packagers, and grocery store
clerks and even in the pasture and some Hospitality volunteers
this morning, is it came to you, feel it in your fingers, touch
it. Is there a certain way that it
feels? You can kind of squeeze it a
little bit, just notice the texture.
Yours might be drier than mine, but mine feels a little pliable.
Not hold it up to your nose and see if you can smell anything
like I smell or doesn't work very well.
But I can smell this raised in just a little bit.
All right. Now, take the Rays into your
mouth don't swallow it whole. All right, the tendency is to
just pop it in and chew it but but instead we're going to make
this more of a deliberate process.
So I want you to just put it in your lips.
Hold it in your lips for a minute.
It's gonna be fun talking with the mic.
You can bring it between your teeth but don't break the skin.
And just roll it around. Let it visit different parts of
your mouth. Allow it to roll to the front of
your tongue. To the back do like a squirrel
and put it in your cheek. Now, if you've been pretty
careful about this, you haven't broken the skin yet.
So go ahead and just gently. Tap it with your teeth.
Okay, just enough to break the skin.
And see if you can notice like a little burst of flavor.
When that happens, it's hard to keep from chewing it.
I want to chew it. Some of you already swallowed
it, but just keep rolling it around.
Notice the flavor, is it changes shape or presses against your
palate? And when you are ready without
taking big bites, take just just little the tiniest bite.
You can. you can keep taking tiny, tiny little bites and and
with each one, There's notice the sensation.
Notice the flavor. Feel the flavor taste the
flavor. You may notice it's beginning to
break up in small pieces. I'm wanting to bite mine down
with my molars, really hard, but I'm trying to resist that.
If you haven't already swallowed it as you continue to take these
small bites, you'll notice they start to get smaller and
smaller. Maybe you can feel different
parts of the raisin and different parts of your mouth.
You can keep chewing and before before long, the raisin you'll
have you'll eating it. But even when you do, you might
notice that there's some like, there's a residual flavor,
right? You can still taste it in your
mouth. Friends.
I don't know if you've eaten a lot of raisins before or just a
few. Maybe this was your first
reason. Maybe you, like Rashad hate
raisins for no apparent reason. I don't know.
But how easy would it be? To go through a whole box of
raisins without having the experience that we just did.
Like how many of you actually, you know, not everybody likes
the flavor, right? But how many of you like notice
something about a raisin that you've never noticed before and
that little experience just now. I did probably a lot of us.
Write a raisin is a tiny, tiny simple, not even very cool
thing, right? It's just shriveled fruit.
And yet it's its Majestic and it's miraculous and if you eat
it like we just did. You might even find yourself
delighting in a raisin of all things.
And friends. This is the invitation for us
today. Look, I know we're never going
to be fully present in every moment.
You're not going to eat every bite of food, like you just
consumed that raisin? But if you just stay on default,
our culture will give you whiplash and leave you anxious.
You'll keep swinging back and forth between hustle on the one
side and gluttony on the other, in an endless cycle that can
never be satisfied. Work Hard, Play Hard Work, Hard,
Play, Hard, and repeat But God is inviting us into a slower way
into a radical alternative in this pattern of Sabbath.
Six days of Labor. And a day of rest, and a day to
not just sit on the couch, but to enter in and intentionally
experienced, the goodness that he has given us to notice it to
savor it to Delight in it and then to move from these
experiences of delight and goodness to trace them, just
like the sun beams back up to God In Worship.
This friends is what it means to practice Sabbath.
It's not a burden, it is a gift. It's a blessing that you receive
it today. Do you practice it?
Now, you consider what it looks like for you to bring even these
tiny notices, maybe it's the raisins that you ate today.
Maybe it's eating slowly for one meal.
Maybe it's noticing the flowers or the smile and COO of the
baby, right? These things that we pass by
every single day without noticing and enter into Delight,
The Lord says, if you'll keep your feet from breaking the
Sabbath, if you'll call it a delight then you will find joy
in the Lord. Would you pray with me?
