SHABBAT FEB 2009.pdf - Kanaan Ministries

God created man at the end of the Sixth Day, just before the Shabbatbecause his spirit belongs with God in a place of Holiness.From the time of the first marriage proposal at Mount Sinai, we have thecalling to be a special people, set apart, a nation of priests.Shabbat does not come naturally. It is a choice that each one of us makes.World peopleTreasured peopleIt is a unique opportunity set there by God. There is no physical sign to thetiming of days / etc. other than the sun and moon.We have a choice to keep God’s Seventh Day sacred and in doing so set up asign for all to see that we are acknowledging God’s Covenant with us.Every time we keep the Shabbat we distinguish ourself from the otherpeople in the same way that a wedding ring sets a man and wife apart fromthe rest.Exodus 31:13 “ 13 Say to the Israelites, Truly you shall keep My Sabbaths, forit is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you mayknow that I, the Lord, sanctify you [set you apart for Myself ].20
