I was going to do some online courses for work but apparently something on my pc is not compatible with  course web page. I can get in, i can see the selection & select a course, but the courses won't load.  Oh well, maybe that's Elohim's Way of telling me I need to just relax this weekend.  and I am fine with that!!
I'm just not going to worry about it, I have some other things I want to do, crochet, write, read, relax.  I'm tired of feeling like I always have to be doing something, I am trying to learn to relax sometimes, just relax.  that may seem odd to some, but it's a very difficult thing for me to do, for some reason I always feel guilty if I am just relaxing and enjoying myself.  multitasking is good for some things, some times.   but I believe He wants me to learn how to "power down", and rest.  not something I do normally or easily.  Do any of you ever have this problem?  For some reason, I've always equated "relaxing" with "laziness"  Some time, some where, I seem to have picked up this idea that I always have to be doing something "productive" or else I'm being lazy.  

WHY?

After the first 6 days that Elohim *worked* creating everything for us,  He RESTED.  Genesis 2:2-3

After He provided the manna & gave them directions on how to collect it, He commanded them to rest on the following day, on the Sabbath.  Exodus 16:23

Exodus 23:11-12 talks about letting the land rest in the 7th year and reminds us to rest on the 7th day.

Exodus 35:2 speaks again of resting on the 7th day.

Leviticus 16:31, 19:30, 23:3,32 telling us to rest on the Sabbath.  In fact Leviticus 23:32 is very specific, "This will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and on that day you must deny yourselves.  This day of rest will begin at sundown on the ninth day of the month and extend until sundown  on the tenth day"  In this scripture Elohim is instructing His people concerning the day of atonement.  He is so specific that He tells them "All who do not deny themselves that day will be cut off from God's people.  And I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day.  You must not do any work at all! This is a permanent law fo ryou and it must be observed from generation to generation wherever you live." (29-31)

Deuteronomy 5:12-15, "observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy as Yehua, your Elohim, has commanded you.  You have 6 days each week for your ordinary work.  But the 7th day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.  On that day no one in your household may do any work.  this includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen and donkeys and other livestock, and any foreigners living among you.  All your male and female servants must rest as you do.  Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt but Yehua, your Elohim brought you out with His strong hand and powerful arm.  That is why Yehua, your Elohim has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day."

I don't believe He could have made His commandment any clearer.    

As to why it's taken me so long to hear & understand, I don't know.  but I hear & understand now Yehua, my Elohim.  

Regardless of what others think or believe or say or approve or don't approve, I hear & understand.  

Shema, O Israel, Yehua, my Elohim, Yehua is one.  and I shall love Yehua, my Elohim, with all my heart, with all my being, with all my might.  Deuteronomy 6:4-5

one of my favorite life scriptures says it all Psalm 46:10, Be STILL and know that I am Elohim.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  

so for the rest of today, to finish out the Sabbath, I will be STILL and know YOU are my ELOHIM.
