In Jordan Raynor’s book, “Redeeming Your Time,” Jordan encourages us to remember the importance of Sabbath Rest with a story from the 1800s. During the California Gold Rush, some traveled seven days a week, while others stopped to rest each Sabbath.
According to “The Emigrants Guide to California” published in 1849, it noted that, “If you rest one day out of seven, you will get to California 20 days sooner than others who don’t.”
Leviticus 23:3 says, “There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of Sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work.”
There are many paradoxes in the Bible that may seem senseless, yet they work. Resting one day a week is a fruitful exercise.
