custom

"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up.  And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read."  (Luke 4:16 ESV, emphasis mine)

What customs do you have?  Do you "still" follow the ones you grew up with?  Our family was in Sunday morning worship EVERY Sunday as I was growing up.   Sunday was our Sabbath so we started with worship, then Sunday dinner - sometimes with other family members, and family time in the evening.  During the time I was serving in ministry (I have been retired for a year now) MY Sabbath time was on Friday's -- "Extra God time" in Scripture, praise music and prayer time.  Either way it was a time to celebrate God's love.

Jesus was in the synagogue, on the Sabbath, "as was his custom."  He was participating and reading Scripture.  I don't know about you but I can picture the disciples following right along, to the synagogue, IN the synagogue and while he was reading -- fellowship.  Time with God, listening for what God is saying and being in worship.
​
So.......  I ask again..... What is your custom for Sabbath?  We are told to "remember the Sabbath day and keep in holy." (Exodus 20:8 ESV)  Something to think about.........
