As Calvin Miller says in The Table of Inwardness, intimacy with God cannot be rushed. We cannot enjoy the presence of God if we are always looking at our watches. That is why keeping the Sabbath is so important-because on that day we pay not much attention to our watches, except perhaps to get to church, or Bible study on time. We have the whole day long to move as the Spirit leads us. Many of you will, like me, be taking a vacation this summer.
Vacations can be great times to learn about the importance of the Sabbath rest.
