Sabbeths

I feel like making laws and commandments.  For myself, and practically for others.  They are practical laws, thought up by a practical person.  

The law is:  Sabbeths. 

They are on Saturday, despite the differences in the Gregorian/Jewish calendars. 

Should we rest?

For our health.  For the blessing. 

Should we not rest? 

John 5:17.  But Jesus answered them, My Father is working until now, and I also am working.  This was in response to those who wanted to kill Jesus because He was working on the Sabbath.

All the Old Testament ordinances are there to prolong life to add to life and to shelter the Jews until he could come for His people.  A child-conductor. The new testament ordinances are to spread the Gospel of God.  The Old Testament is the flesh and the New Testament is the ordinances of the Spirit. 

So should we follow the Old Testament or the New Testament? Is there a both? 

I'm leaning towards the Old Testament, only because I'm not spiritually deft enough to know when the Father is moving and how the gospel is going out. 

I'm afraid to work.  I don't believe I have enough energy to work.  Lack of faith.  Also I have a lot of hate to deal with.  I don't take things seriously enough.  I don't want to offend anyone.  And there's a lot of work that the Lord wants to get done that I just don't understand enough to take up the reins.  I don't want to keep failing and failing at God's work.  I have a lot of excuses.  I feel like I'm too different from the workers of Christ. 

So I would choose the New Testament if I wasn't a old 31-year-old gal, who needed rhythms and repetition, who's flesh was failing.

So Old Testament it is.  Until I understand resting in a more complete way.   If I follow the resting of creation, maybe I will understand better resting when God rests from the work He has done.
