Unexpected Sabbath Time

Well, here we sit in the  gate area for our flight out of San Antonio, and it has been delayed --twice. As it is, we will not get home until after midnight. At least, we will not miss a connecting flight. So my question for myself is how do I use this unexpected delay as sabbath—a time when I can be especially aware of how God sets me free, and asks me to participate in setting others free?

I can choose my attitude during this time. I already have a full day ahead tomorrow, so I could fret about it, but I am choosing simply to accept it. I choose to hold those around me in a holy space of praying for them. I do not know their needs, or what might bind them, but I pray to the One who knows them intimately, and who seeks to be in a healing relationship with each one.

I also hold you in prayer—in the presence of the One who knows you intimately, and seeks to be in healing relationship with you.

Ephesians 3:16-17
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.
