And I think to some extent, this is probably how we have grown up understanding Sabbath, but what I think we often miss is this fourth element, delight. When God made this world, he sat back on the seventh day. He saw what he had made, and he said it is very good. In fact, beyond ceasing and resting, Shabbat also means to delight. When we delight in this world, we're focusing on what is very good. We curate our view of the world, and we notice what is good and beautiful and true. And as we delight in creation, we delight in the creator himself.
