Sabbath Rest

       We began observing the 7th day Sabbath from Friday at sundown to Saturday at Sundown after we read the Scriptures thoroughly and repeatedly and could not find anywhere where the Sabbath was changed to Sunday.. The more we read the Scriptures it seemed as if a veil was being lifted from our eyes. 
This was a complete letting go for us, Saturday has always been our "work bee" day, when the yard got mowed the laundry got caught up. Chris had a side job he did early Saturday mornings and he would rotate the children taking them for breakfast, it was a sacrifice that we had to make that we trust God will bless.
Friday has been spent preparing food for the Sabbath getting laundry caught up and getting the house spic and span for the coming day.

I will say it's been hard to stop and slow down, we have spent this time watching teachings online and talking, napping, playing games with the children.   Our hearts desire it to fully submit to our Heavenly Father . What convicted us most was that we whole heartily obeyed all other 9 commandments but not the fourth?  We were able to make so many excuses of why it could never work.

The Old Testament law was "fulfilled" by Christ (meaning that He kept it fully). The Sabbath law was part of the Ten Commandments given to Moses, not part of the ceremonial laws given to the Jews alone. The Ten Commanments are the basis for the moral law that all men are to live by not just those that are believers. I can not see anywhere in the new testament where we are given permission to disregard any of this moral code. What I do see is Jesus taught us how to fully keep it in spirit and truth, not just as an outward form.

Deuteronomy 30:11-20

¹¹ Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. ¹² It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” ¹⁴ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
¹⁵ See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. ¹⁶ For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
¹⁷ But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, ¹⁸ I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
¹⁹ This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live ²⁰ and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Ezekiel 20
19 I am
יהוה
your Elohim; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
20 And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you,
that ye may know that I am
יהוה
your Elohim.
