EXODUS 20: 8,9,10,11
Remember ths sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,thymanservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.For in six days the Lord made heaven anf earth, the sea and all that in them is,and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
Now as some of you may remember from a past post that I had written, this is one of the commandments. that i have struggled with. I think Alex gave me the best response when unlike most of the others he told me he would answer me if I asked him but I wasn,t going to like his answer. I have always believed in fulfilling your responsibilities and some times these two things seem to conflict. But I do believe that God lets you know when you are about to do something to displease him and if we are obedient we don't do it. Minus one occasion which I really felt was necessary I have changed my outlook on the sabbath, and I,ll tell you what. The Lord as usual knew what he was doing when he ordered a day of rest, to spend with him and with your family it is extremely refreshing. And although this is probably a copout the week that I felt i had to spend some time working on Sunday i made it a point to observe his sabbath both all day saturday and for Sunday service. I know of one of the most if not the most successful bakeries in our county that closes every Sunday for the Lord's day. This is unheard of for a bakery having spent years in the food business the are whole industries that count on the after church crowd and I have the utmost rerspect for those who find honoring the Lord more important that montary gains.
Thank You and God Bless You
