There was a time not so long ago that there was a thing called, “The Blue Law”. Today’s younger generation probably doesn’t have any idea what the blue law was. Do you know? Oddly enough, it was a law that required businesses to close on Sunday. There was a general opinion that Sunday was meant to be a day of rest. Wonder where anyone ever got that idea?

I’ve begun thinking about how I might incorporate God’s instruction of rest on the Sabbath in my life. I have not figured it all out, but I know one thing for sure. Sunday is meant as a day of replenishment. It is a time to reflect on the things of God and make adjustments to my life that better incorporate and acknowledge the blessings of God.

I don’t think the Sabbath is necessarily on our day known as Sunday. The Hebrew calendar and ours don’t perfectly align, but I do believe everyone has a Sabbath. It is that seventh day of your week, when you don’t work and refocus on who it is that provided for you on the previous six days. I suppose if you work on modern day Sunday, that is ok but probably you run a risk of neglecting your Holy Day just because you are not in sync with the rest of the world. Make sense?
.
So take note of your Sabbath and make sure you keep it Holy. God really values His seventh day and I believe He is honored by observing you observe the day He gave you in a manner that is pleasing. The Sabbath is meant to be a Holy Day not a holiday.
