The Rest of the Week

Sabbath Feasting?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:20

“The Sabbath of the Lord is a day of rest from labor; and the diet upon that day should be more simple, and partaken of in less quantities, than upon the six laboring days, because we do not have that exercise upon the Sabbath that we have upon the other days of the week. Many have erred in not practicing self-denial upon the Sabbath. By partaking of full meals, as on the six laboring days, their minds are beclouded.”

— The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 1, p. 226

Sabbath Tip
Ever experience that dull, lazy feeling after a heavy meal? Most of us have, but it’s something we certainly want to avoid on the seventh day when we need our minds to be at their sharpest. While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a nice Sabbath dinner, it’s best to practice self-control as we eat. Yes, the Sabbath day is for feasting—but less on physical food and more on spiritual nourishment!
