A Spiritual Story about our Sister Sofonie Dala
Happy Sabbath, everyone!
Today, I have a beautiful story to share, a story of God's love, His Sabbath rest, and the joy of coming together in worship.

Our dear sister, Sofonie Dala, after a long period of waiting and longing, finally arrived at the church of Hoji-Ya-Henda this Sabbath morning. She had not been able to attend for quite some time, but today was different. As the service began, the familiar sound of the choir marching in and the beautiful hymns filled the air—songs that she had not heard in so long, songs that had once echoed in her heart, now lifting her soul again in praise and adoration of our Lord.
This Sabbath, November 15, 2025, was more than just a day of rest—it was a day of reunion, of spiritual renewal, and of peace. Sister Sofonie sat quietly in the church, surrounded by the congregation, remembering the words of the Psalms and the comforting presence of God. As the music filled the air and the Spirit moved among them, she felt God's presence like never before. The choir sang hymns of praise, and the congregation joined in worship with one heart and mind, all gathered together in God's house.
This is the essence of the Sabbath—a sacred time set apart for rest, reflection, and communion with God.
The Sabbath was given to us by God Himself, a day not just of physical rest, but a time for us to draw close to Him, to rest in His grace, and to find refreshment for our souls. It is a holy day, not just for us to rest, but for us to come together in fellowship and worship, as one body in Christ.
As the Bible tells us in Genesis 2:2-3:
"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
The Sabbath is a gift from God, a gift that allows us to pause and remember His goodness, His creation, and His salvation. It is a time for us to rest not just in body but in spirit, to reconnect with our Creator, and to be reminded of the beauty and peace that only He can provide.
Jesus also emphasized the importance of the Sabbath as a day of spiritual nourishment. In Mark 2:27, He says:
"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath."
The Sabbath is a gift—made for our benefit. It is not a burden but a blessing, a time set aside for us to rest from our daily struggles and to find strength and hope in God's presence. Just as Sister Sofonie felt God's peace in that church on this special Sabbath, so too can we find that same peace as we honor the Sabbath, whether we are in church or in our homes.
As we reflect on the beauty of the Sabbath, may we all remember that this day is a reminder of God's perfect rest and His invitation for us to come and meet with Him. Just as Sister Sofonie felt the joy of returning to church and experiencing the fellowship of believers once again, may we all find joy in the Sabbath, knowing that it is God's gift to us—a time for rest, for worship, and for renewal.
May God bless each of us this Sabbath day, and may we continue to draw closer to Him in worship, rest, and gratitude.
Amen.
