Sleep in. If you have church in the morning, go to bed early the night before. This is definitely the day to take a nap, soak in the tub, or lay in the sun.
The Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, the High and Holy One, commanded humans to rest. Remind yourself of this at the beginning of every Sabbath. This is a happy commandment.
God gave Adam and Eve three commandments in Genesis 1:1-2:4. One commandment was to rule the earth. The second required lovemaking (and babies that would have been borne without labor pains had mankind never sinned). The third was to take one day a week off.
This is the kind of God we serve. He loves us. He wants us to rest.
