The Seventh Day!

In Genesis 2, verse 2 we read, "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished. And on the seventh day, God finished His work which he had done. And He rested on the seventh day from all his work. So God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it."

What a catastrophe it would have been without the Sabbath. How could we have survived all these years, without that one day we call "Holy." We need that, more than we need pay day. For it is the pay check of the soul to worship. Sad is the person who never enriches his spirit. Bankrupt is the person who never gets the dividends of a Sunday investment. Life is so flat...so horizontal most of the time. We grovel for the almighty dollar. But on the lst day of the week, we need to get the vertical dimension.

I feel sorry for people who stay home on Sunday mornings. How important it is to come and meet your Creator. To get the main‑spring of your heart re‑wound; to let the Lord fill your cup once again, before starting a new week.

"Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." It is not a suggestion. It is a law of life! Break it if you will, and you hurt yourself and your family. Keep it, and shovel in the inner treasures that are there.

Genesis 1 and 2 tell us about God. He is the star, the main character. He is a God who acts. He began it. He made it all. He pronounced it good. And into this world, He sent a man and woman. They are our parents. They made the mistake of thinking they knew better than God. I need the Sabbath to avoid that folly.
