How do you rest and do nothing on the sabbath????

Ok on Sunday a friend asked me a question and I know many have this question so I'm going to explain it how it was explained to me. I asked God, seeked the answer and now I can knock, practice this. The question is .......How do you rest and do nothing on the sabbath??????well , first let's look at the definition of rest. Rest-the first definition is - relax, take a break. (Put you feet up. )That's the first definition. What the world thinks of when you think of rest. Second definition- be placed or supported. Stay in a specified place( his hands rested on the rail.) either way, YOU take a break. But how???????.do u do nothing or take a break?  Remain in God. Gen 2:2 God rested. He rested after His work after He created us. Remember the sabbath . Let's look at this remember the sabbath and keep it holy hebrew holy means set apart. In col 2  Paul explains that we are not bound by the old test and reality is found in Christ. Remember the sabbath and keep it holy. Remember Christ and keep Him set apart. Shouldn't we do this everyday? Shouldn't we be supported by God and set apart everyday time with Jesus ? Just as eve was deceived by satan our minds can be deceiving. Do not conform to the world. Do not think rest means what the world says it means. What did God himself do? Rested after HE made man. The sabbath was made by God for us to rest in Him. Think of it as a reboot, .My son goes to school all day and picks up a bad habit from another child when he gets home I spend time with him and stear him back on track. If I didn't , day after day after day eventually the habit is harder to break. God wants us to spend time every day with Him so He can stear us back on track and prevent bad habits from growing into strongholds. God created everyday for us to spend time with Him. If you go to church every Sunday and that is the only day or hour you spend with Him a week, how does your relationship grow? If I spent one day a week one hour a week with my husband when we were dating ??? Ummmmm prob would never made it past dating? Remember the sabbath and keep it holy . Remember God every single day He gives you and keep Him holy by setting time aside to be with Him. Build your relationship  daily . He is holy.  Remember the sabbath is pretty important cause it's in the ten commandment. We should set aside one whole day to spending time with God.but make go to church on Sunday not just for the sermon but enjoy fellowship. When you are building your relationship with God everyday, then you truly enjoy Sunday church. You are then free to use a gift , talent God gave you for the betterment of the church. Work Sunday school, collect offering, take prayer request , lead prayer. Sing, start a choir. Etc. We all have a skill for the church. When you are spending time with God every single day, he can show you what. Making snacks or coffee before sermon, youth leader, mission trips.you do not know till you spend time with Him. Enjoy church, help your church grow . Mature in your alone time with God every single day. So to answer the question , how do u do nothing on Sunday? You don't. You spend time enjoying Sunday
