Sabbath Delights

This Sunday I will be preaching on Hebrews 10:25:

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

The Holy Bible  : New International Version. 1996, c1984 . Zondervan: Grand Rapids

And yes I do know what holiday weekend this is and that I should be preaching something Thanksgivingish.  But I started a sermon about three weeks ago on Hebrews 10:19-25 that I have yet to finish and this is the final thought from the text which I am bound and determined to finish before we get into December and all of the Christmas stuff. 

So, among other things I'll be talking about the significance of the Sabbath meeting for the people of God.  And I came across a few words from Laura Brumley (remember that name!!) at A Practice in Belief that I believe are some of the best I have ever heard on the delights of the Sabbath.  Read and be blessed:

I am floored by God's readiness to grant people like us free access to hearing, singing, praying, and feeding upon his Word every week. And we're told to spend the whole day celebrating this reality, keeping in mind that it is a mere foretaste? I'm convinced that there are no blessings in this life comparable to a Sunday rightly spent.
