Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
The Sabbath becomes a delight as we choose to honor God before our usual wants, habits, and distractions. As we set apart this day with more intention, we give our faith room to deepen and our love for Him room to grow.
Scripture
“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:”—Isaiah 58:13
Quote
“Faith in God engenders a love for the Sabbath; faith in the Sabbath engenders a love for God. A sacred Sabbath truly is a delight.”—Russell M. Nelson, “The Sabbath Is a Delight”

Living the Principle: How to Make the Sabbath a Delight
- Choose one regular Sabbath distraction to set aside this week so there is more room for worship, rest, and connection with God.
- Plan one simple way to honor the Lord before Sunday begins, such as preparing for church, setting aside time for prayer, or choosing an uplifting activity.
- Notice how the Sabbath changes when it centers less on personal preference and more on building faith and love for God.
