Here are ten listed in google, wow, I am sorely lacking.
"1. Do not work.
If a work event comes up on the Sabbath, you decline. If you don’t get all your work done before the Sabbath, you plan for an early morning the next day. When thoughts about work pop into your head, promise yourself you will deal with it tomorrow (if you need to, write a quick note so you won’t forget about it). By not working on the Sabbath, you are saying, “God is more important than my job.”
2. No TV.
Remember the Sabbath is about being with God. I don’t know about you, but I don’t often experience God’s presence while watching Television.
3. No social media.
Similar to TV, social media is a distraction from God. Cutting out these types of distractions will go a long way in keeping your Sabbath day holy.
4. Only listen to Christian music.
Setting your music to Christian radio is like setting the mood for the day. It draws you into God’s presence and keeps you focused on His goodness.
5. Spend extra time reading your Bible and praying.
One of the best ways to build a relationship with God is through direct communication with Him. Be intentional about seeking more time to talk with and learn from God.
6. Have a family Bible study time.
Read a devotional or passage of scripture as a family. Spend time discussing what you read and then pray for each other.
7. No house work.
Whether it’s cleaning the bathrooms, doing laundry, or mowing the lawn, house work never ends! So do yourself a favor and ignore it one day a week. (If you need some convincing, just remember the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42; chose what is better!)
8. Spend time outside enjoying God’s creation.
God created this whole world for our benefit! This is why many people experience God more intimately while in nature. So take a walk, play in the park, or climb a mountain and ask God to reveal himself to you through His creation.
9. Have family worship time.
Gather the family together and get creative. Worship God through, song, dance, art, or storytelling.
10. Invite friends over for fellowship.
A Sabbath day does not need to be a day of isolation. Get together with your brothers and sisters in Christ and spend time encouraging each other in the Lord.
Remember, these are just ideas for how to observe the Sabbath, to help get you started, and you do not need to implement them all. I recommend prayerfully considering how God would like you to spend your Sabbath day, and follow His guidance above all else.
Even though I spent the last year taking a Sabbath rest day, I am far from perfect in this discipline. Some weeks still get away from us and Sunday fills with everything we didn’t get to sooner. Therefore, I leave you with these words of wisdom about how to keep the Sabbath according to the Bible, from Matthew Henry:
“The Sabbath is a sacred and Divine institution; a privilege and benefit, not a task and drudgery. God never designed it to be a burden to us, therefore we must not make it so to ourselves. The Sabbath was instituted for the good of mankind, as living in society, having many wants and troubles, preparing for a state of happiness or misery. Man was not made for the Sabbath, as if his keeping it could be of service to God, nor was he commanded to keep it outward observances to his real hurt. Every observance respecting it, is to be interpreted by the rule of mercy.”"
10 Ways to Keep the Sabbath Holy - Arabah
The Sabbath is a blessing that God made from the beginning Genesis 2:3.
The Sabbath is a sign between God and His people Exodus 31:12-17 12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it
is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that
you may know that I
am the Lord who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for
it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does
any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh
is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does
any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations
as a
perpetual covenant.
And a sign of sanctification Ezekiel20:12 Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I
am the Lord who sanctifies them
The Bible tells us how to enjoy the Sabbath:
Isaiah 58: 13,14 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy
day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking
your own words,
14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Mathew 12:11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift
it out? 12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched
it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.
Sabbath will be kept on the New Earth (God is consistent about His chosen day).
Isaiah 66:23
And it shall come to pass
That from one New Moon to another,
And from one Sabbath to another,
All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.
God tells us the importance of knowing Him. Sabbath is 24 hours out of the week that should be dedicated to spending time with God by praying, going to church, reading the bible, bible studies, taking nature walks, doing good to help others and resting. It's His very special day and God wants it to be a blessing for us and should not be burdensome.
God bless
