Happy Sabbath, Shabbat Shalom!!🥰
🌿 Happy Sabbath! Sabbath Shalom! 🌿🕊🙏
As we gather in Spirit and Heart today, let us remember that the Sabbath is a forever commandment given by Yahweh to Moshe (Moses).
This Sabbath is particularly Special, as we reflect on the recent Blessing that has come after 250 years in yhe US, with a notable mention from President Trump, who wrote a national Proclamation for a Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving. It reminds us that when we turn as Nations to be Obedient to the LORD, Blessings will flow to those who Honor the Word of Our Creator GoD; Yahoshua. Deuteronomy 28:1-2: "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your GoD, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your GoD will set you high above all nations of the Earth. And all these Blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your GoD."
It’s a Sacred time of Rest and Reflection, a practice that Yeshua/Jesus and His disciples upheld throughout their lives. Luke 4:16: "So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read."
I invite Everyone who hasn’t yet Embraced this Rest day to join me in Prayer for Peace and Love to be Lived across the Earth. Let us Unify our Hearts and Voices in seeking Harmony in our Communities and throughout the Nations.
GoD has a Blessing for All living according to His Will Psalm 1:1-3: "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight.
May this Sabbath bring you joy, peace, and a renewed spirit. Shabbat Shalom! Happy Sabbath!!🙏♥️🕊🐞🌹

The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest; it is a profound spiritual practice that has been cherished through generations. Observing the Sabbath allows us to step back from the busyness of life, providing an opportunity to reconnect with our Creator and community. From personal experience, embracing Sabbath rest has brought me deeper peace and clarity amid life's challenges. The scriptural foundations, such as Deuteronomy 28:1-2, remind us of the blessings that follow obedience and devotion. It’s inspiring to consider how nations that honor these commandments have historically experienced periods of grace and prosperity. This linkage between faithfulness and blessings strengthens the importance of dedicating this sacred time. Furthermore, the recent proclamation by a national leader highlighting a Jubilee of Prayer emphasizes the power of collective spiritual focus. It shows that when communities unite in obedience and thanksgiving, positive change and harmony can emerge not only in hearts but also in society at large. Reflecting on the OCR scripture Isaiah 49:25 and 1 John 4:4, we are reminded that God defends His faithful and empowers believers to overcome challenges. This spiritual victory is accessible to everyone who trusts and walks in God’s ways. Personally, the Sabbath has been a time to read scripture, meditate, and pray for peace locally and worldwide. Luke 4:16 highlights Jesus’ example of honoring the Sabbath, which invites us to follow His path of worship and rest. I encourage anyone unfamiliar with Sabbath observance to experience this sacred rhythm. Even one day of intentional rest and reflection can renew the spirit and spread peace. Shabbat Shalom is truly a blessing not only to yourself but to your community and beyond, as it fosters unity, love, and spiritual strength.
Shalom, Paula. ✡️
