Shepherd to Sheep

Exodus 31:16

"So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant."

The Lord's heart desire was not to make His people take a break or a day off once a week, but His hope was that they would enter into a rest or cessation from trying to do all on their own. Not striving to earn a living and accumulating wealth, or doing good to earn favor with God or man, but in faith entering into a place of rest and trust, hoping in God alone who provides all things. Ephesians 2:8 tells us "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God." It's this same gift that He desired to impart to all who would enter into the rest found only in Him.
