I would suggest to you that daddies need more time with his children, husbands require more time with their wives and the other way round. If you will do what the Bible informs you to do, it will bless you in the top down.
The people making an oath before Yahweh said this in Ne 10:31,"When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to market on the Sabbath, we will not buy from them or any holy day." I've a lot of questions on this, Jim, on Shabbath, will we go out to eat? Can we shop? Well it's very clear in the Scriptures that we have His people making an oath before Him saying "we will not buy things from those that don't celebrate the Sabbath." "Well Jim they're likely to be working anyway, I mean they're working at jack in the box, I go to the drive thru or otherwise not, isn't that a moot point? They're gonna be working anyway!" Well here's the question, are you being part of the solution? Or are you currently being part of the problem.
If everyone did everything you do which is buy things on Shabbath and break the Sabbath keeping according the commandment, it always is continually is profane. However, if everyone stops buying, do you know what? They would shut everything down. I declare that we each be part of the perfect solution is and not part of the problem.
Every one of us will stand before Him one day and we will give an account for the purpose we did. He knows what you do in public and He knows that which you do in secret. The bottom line is this; we aren't supposed to do whatever we do the other six days of a few days. We are not suppose to work, no making others work by buying from them and then making them wait on us. This isn't a day to what we want to do, but a day to delight in the Lord plus our family which are the two top things on his list. It is a day to rest from life and to get our batteries recharged by plugging into His Word.
You understand every single time that you hang out with the Father, He spends time with you. Every single time that you choose to sit on His lap, He'll hold you. Every single time which you dig into His word, He can reveal Himself to you. How can you think he feels when you're six days a week and you decide to stop everything and honor your wife, to honor your children, to honor Him, to spend time with Him, and you choose to do what's difficult in American Society which is not go out to eat, which is not buy things, which is not cause other people to work, and you do your part to turn this creation around? How can you think He feels by visiting that extent all for within the name of honoring Him. You see He never says that the path is wide and easy, He admits that that it's narrow and it's hard.
And today I see nothing but people in Christian religious circles using the easy way out and I'm suggesting that it's time and energy to do the hard thing because hard situations are coming and until we prepare, we won't be ready for the things that are ahead.
