Lectio Divina: An Invitation To Receptivity

“Sabbath is not simply the pause that refreshes. It is the pause that transforms. Sabbath is an invitation to receptivity, an acknowledgment that what is needed is given and need not be seized.”
~Walter Brueggemann

Reflection:
Where in your life are you still striving to seize what God is inviting you simply to receive?

Scripture:
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” — Exodus 20:8 (NRSV)

    I’m believing more all genuine Joy in living comes from receiving God’s Grace, and not seizing anything (that only inflates one’s prideful ego).
