I'm having to re-evaluate a lot of my beliefs about the Sabbath. I confess, sadly, that that level of commitment to the Sabbath seems difficult for me at the present time. My mind so often wanders and focuses on things other than God. I will have to pray a lot about it and ask God that he would give me a heart that would be able to joyfully and faithfully observe the "whole" Sabbath and also a repentant heart.
I do hope that you aren't of the mind that thinks that your personal wrestling with the Sabbath is unique? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" /> I suppose there are some true "saints" out there that delight in the Sabbath without an errant thought and do all that they believe is in conformity to what God desires of His children on the Sabbath. But I rather suspect that the majority of true believers are far from having "arrived" and are still in the process of being sanctified in Christ. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Fortunately, we worship and serve a merciful God Who has provided us with an Advocate, the Lord Christ, Who ever makes intercession for us. And, He has also sent to us another "Comforter" Who keeps us from falling and also gradually leads us into all truth through His enlightenment and leadings. It's a gradual conquest, brother. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
