The Sabbath law is a commemoration of the action of God in creation. God rested on the seventh day, or Sabbath. He consecrated the Sabbath here in Exodus as a holy day, a sanctified day. The traditional Jewish Sabbath is basically our Saturday, from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday. The Christian church primarily chooses to worship, or have its Sabbath–of sorts–on Sunday to commemorate the resurrection of Christ on the first day of the week. While we do not live under law during this covenant of grace today, the principal still stands: God is looking for His people to reverence time with Him, where nothing else matters but the opportunity to rest and worship Him. The children of Israel did not work on the Sabbath in honor of God’s decree. In the workaday world in which we live, it is easy to get caught up in the hectic pace that robs us of our relationship with God and with the rest that recharges our spirit and allows us to function with integrity and joy. Keep a Sabbath of rest and worship and you will be sharp spiritually, and less likely to be vulnerable to Satan’s plans to destroy you!
