"If because of the Sabbath, you turn your foot from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, and honor it, desisting from your own ways, from seeking your own pleasure and speaking your own word, then you will take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
This is a tough one for me, but it is also inspiring.
The Hebrew word "im" at the beginning of this passage is very important to my understanding of it. A simple word meaning "lo!" and most often translated as "if". If I take delight in the Sabbath as a time to focus on God and how much He loves me and blesses me, then how could I not be even more open to receive even more blessings from Him. Just being open to recognize our blessings is a blessing in itself.
