Today is Monday, July 31st, 2023; Karen's Korner #4921
Coming out of Sunday, here is one of the ten commandments:
Remember to observe the Sabbath
as a holy day.
Six days a week for your daily duties
and your regular work,
but the seventh day is
a day of Sabbath rest
before the Lord your God.
For in six days, the Lord made the heaven,
earth, and sea, and everything in them,
and rested the seventh day;
so he blessed
the Sabbath day a
nd set it aside for rest."
~ Exodus 20:8, 9 10b; 11 LAB

Bible Commentary: "The Sabbath was a day set aside for rest and worship. God commanded a Sabbath because we need to spend unhurried time in worship and rest each week. A God who is concerned enough to provide a day each week for us to rest is indeed a wonderful God. To observe a regular time of rest and worship in our hurried world demonstrates the importance of God in our lives while having the extra benefit of refreshing our spirits."
