For those who don't know what the sabbath is, basically God asks that we spend one day in the week focused on Him. To rest from our daily labors, to care for others, spend time with our family, and ponder on how we can do better in our life.
It's a day that has lots to be done, some take it as a day to be idle, a day to "not do anything" but even that is much more wonderful than it being yet another daily grind. When we use the day to focus on God and doing good, it's an incredible recharge, a huge boost of motivation that lasts all week to be better, to tackle bigger problems, and to be inspired with solutions.
I'm very grateful for God's commandments. They really help keep us safe and in turn help us be free.
