NOT FINDING THINE OWN PLEASURE
Original: If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 58:13,14)
Inverted phrasing: If you honour the Sabbath, doing My pleasure on My holy day; and do not call the sabbath a misery, the burden imposed by the LORD, utterly unworthy; and shall not dishonour Him, doing His ways, and finding His good pleasure, and speaking His words: then you shall not find the LORD boring; and I will not leave you crawling on the low places of the earth, and will not leave you unfed with the promises I made to your father Israel.
THE PLEASURE OF THE LORD?

Charity of every one of you all toward each other.

The just shall live by faith. Cast not away your confidence; ye have need of patience – do the will of God!

He wants men to be saved.
So much so that He stays His return.
1 Timothy 2:3, 4
He wants men to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Thess. 4:3-7
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification.
1 Peter 2:3-15
For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
1 Peter 3:17
Suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
1 Thess. 5:16-18
Pray, rejoice and give thanks.
Inverse read Hebrews 10:38 ~ And a righteous person will not live by works. I will have pleasure in the one who turns to me.
Therefore, do the will of God on the Sabbath, i.e. (Isaiah 58:13, 14) do His ways, find His pleasure and speak His words. TURN TO HIM, FOCUS ON HIM
"Heaven's work never ceases, and we should never rest from doing good. Our own work the law forbids us to do on the rest day of the Lord. The toil for a livelihood must cease; no labour for worldly pleasure or profit is lawful upon that day. But the Sabbath is not to be spent in useless inactivity. As God ceased from His labour of creating, and rested upon the Sabbath, so we are to rest. He bids us lay aside our daily occupations, and devote those sacred hours to
