Rest Sabbath: glorifying God

Purpose: The purpose of glorifying God in our Sabbath is remembering God's greatness.  Also, it is a recognition of who God is and his power and glory.  When we glorify God in our rest, then he is also glorified.
Verses: Psalm 96:1-9, 1 Chronicles 16:23-29,  Isaiah 42:12, John 42;13, Revelations 15:4, Ezekiel 28: 22-23, 1 Corinthians 10:31, 1 Corinthians 6:20,  Matthew 5:16,  Dan. 4:34-37.
Application:  Remembering to glorify God in all that we do gives us focus on him.  In this, we are reminded of our daily dependence on God for everything.
Conclusion: Glorifying God should be everything we do whether it is in rest or work.  Our whole life should be about glorifying God and showing his love to others.

Sabbath rest: God's greatness

Purpose: The main purpose of resting in God's greatness is remembering that our problems here on earth are nothing compared to the greatness of God.  God is bigger than the things that overwhelm us or overtake us here on earth.   There is a verse in a Isiah that says his ways and thoughts are bigger than us.
Verses: Psalm 19.
Application: Once we rest in God's greatness daily, our problems seem small compared to how great and mighty our God is.  By going to God, he can take away the pain in our lives.  When we remember how big our God is, then we can remind ourselves that God can redeem us from the struggles of this world and fix our mind on the surpassing greatness of God that Paul describes in Corinthians.
Conclusion: Resting in the greatness of God, puts the focus in our struggles on God alone (the master of all circumstances), and not the one true provider, God almighty.
