Got Rhythm?? Lance Witt

In this media-drenched, data rich, channel-surfing, computer gaming age, we have lost the art of doing nothing. In Praise of Slowness

1. We live in a universe defined by rhythm.

You were made to live in rhythm.

It’s the space between the notes that makes the music.” Noah Ben Shea

Space and slow are friends to your spiritual health.

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35  

2. The Sabbath is one of God’s strategies for helping you live a life of rhythm.

Sabbath literally means to stop.

Sabbath is anchored in God’s design of the universe.

For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them …

… but he rested on the seventh day … but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 20:11

Sabbath is anchored in our chosenness .

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm…

… Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:15

You will be healthier (and more fun to be around) when you have a good rhythm of life.

It helps me embrace my limits.

It helps me with my control issues.

It helps me find my identity apart from what I accomplish.

4. You need a plan to have a healthy rhythm of life
