Life and pastoring can be exhausting. And that exhaustion grows when we fail to distinguish between ourselves and God. A friend shared with me this week a new song by singer/songwriter Jess Ray called I Am Not God. My screen saver since the beginning of the year is a message: “Relax. You are not the Messiah.” We all are struggling to hold that distinction.

God knows our vulnerability to this and our compensating tendency to do too much and never rest and recalibrate. For this, he has given us the gift of sabbath. Too frequently we view the sabbath as rules and shackles. I disagree. Sabbath is an invitation to a feast. 

I invite you to join the feast.
