Imagine if every single person on the face of this earth lived according to God’s design? If we followed God’s design for sex and marriage? Would rape exist? Or abortions? Or incest, sex trafficking, sexual assault? How about pornography? Or homosexuality? What if everyone adhered to observing the Sabbath? Do you think anxiety and depression would be so high? Do you think ‘burn out’ would even be a concept? God’s ways are designed for our best, but unfortunately, Satan wants to corrupt every single thing God designed for good. Living on this earth will never be perfect, for where man is there will be corruption. It’s why Heaven is what we look forward to with anticipation, when everything will be made right. In the mean time, when we personally live our lives within God’s intended parameters, it gives the world a small glimpse of what Heaven will be like. Our joy shows others that God knows what He’s doing. God has our back. It’s His design that creates security, joy, peace, confidence, which shows His love for us. When we live within the realm of His design, we get to experience Him, AND get a little taste of what Heaven will be like. Are you living with eternity in mind? Are you being refreshed weekly?
16 The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to generation. This is a covenant obligation for all time. 17 It is a permanent sign of My covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He stopped working and was refreshed.’ ”
Exodus 31:16-17
