Abby Cooledge’s Reviews > Ten Words to Live By: Delighting in and Doing What God Commands > Status Update

“The word sabbath means "cease." To sabbath is to cease activity for the purpose of remembering God's provision, that we might worship him as we ought. Being well-rested and taking care of ourselves are good things, but they are at best a thin obedience to the fourth command.”

“Sabbath is the deliberate cessation of any activity that might reinforce my belief in my own self-sufficiency.”

“The second word compels us both to stop worshiping the image of God-diminished, and to start becoming the image of God-restored. When we fear the Lord, undiminished, we develop love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? His law becomes increasingly engraved on our hearts. And we become the graven images he created us to be.”

Sibby taught me so much from this book so decided to read it for myself!
