What do you do on Sunday? Is Sunday your day to sleep in? Is it the day you go to church; or do you spend Sunday just like any other day, running around doing the same things you would do on any other day of the week? Is there a day each week that you set aside for rest and focus on the Lord? You should. It is a command from God.
Exodus 20:8-11. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy."
Isn't it interesting that research is showing that people can think better, perform their tasks more efficiently, and have better health when they observe a one day a week rest? A day of rest was God prescribed a very long time ago. He did so for good reason-for your well being. Do not let yourself get caught up in the craziness of the culture, and forget to take time for rest and reflection on the greatness of God. Remember the sabbath day. Do not let the pressure of activities keep you too busy to rest and spend time with the Father.
The LORD bless you with one day a week set aside to rest and be refreshed.
