Romans 8:15 - You received the Spirit of sonship

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

Every day brings new blessings, challenges, and fears. It's easy to be a slave to fear instead of resting in the peace of our Heavenly Father.

You see, believers are sons of God through adoption. He chose us to be His. And because we belong to Him, we should act as though we are heirs to the King of Kings, casting out fear and worry

Choose today to throw off the chains of fear in your life. Know fully that you are the sons and daughters of the Almighty Father.

Genesis 2:2-3 - And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done!

As part of the creation account, we see that work is not a part of the curse, but a part of the very activity of God. So when we work we are like God. But that work should be marked with times of rest and refreshing. To rest during times of work or work during times of rest creates an atmosphere of fatigue to our bodies and souls. It takes us out of His blessing.
