Promise 41 from Exodus 16:29-30

Ex. 16:2-20 - "'See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.' So the people rested on the seventh day." - The most difficult time for me to faithfully observe the Sabbath day is as a student when I have an assignment due or an exam the next week. It is so tempting to keep pushing on in my work on the day of rest. Because the Sabbath day is a "gift day" from God, He won't command us to rest and not make provision for us to get the work done that we need to get done. God gave the Israelites a double portion in advance. He set the scene, opened the schedule for them so that they can rest. I've found that at some point during my week, God often times gives me a double portion of motivation, energy and endurance to be more productive than usual, this frees me up to rest on the Sabbath without feelings of guilt or worry, He also tends to bless our work during the week when we live in obedience to Him, by observing the Sabbath. A day of rest is totally a gift from God, which He promises to provide for us. We just need to take it.
