“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock and any foreigners living among you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.” Exodus 20:8-11
Holy day – that makes the Sabbath a day of fellowship and worship. It has more to do with how we celebrate the day and praise the Lord than it does with whether we work or not. Sabbath actually is an opportunity for discipline otherwise many of us might obsess over our jobs or passions and be overly tempted to omit God’s presence completely. It actually is a time to reflect on our respect as we honor God. It sets aside a concentrated time to enter into His presence with thanksgiving regardless of other times.
