Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
God blesses and He protects people because of His goodness, not merely because of anything good we may have done. In fact, if God’s blessings to us were to be based on our own goodness, not a single one of us would be blessed. God makes His sun to shine on the evil and on the good, and He sends His rain on the just and on the unjust, so material blessings, and general protection are not inevitable indicators that God accepts forms of worship that are contrary to the scriptures.
This is a form of spiritual darkness that has overspread the earth. With Cain, God would never accept anything other than what He had required, and the same is true in our day as it pertains to a substitute day of worship, which has taken deep root in Christendom. There are persons who really believe that Sunday is the correct day of worship, and they may be sincere in their convictions.
But although God understands their sincerity, and the force of habit and tradition, yet the Sabbath of the fourth commandment remains unchanged as the only day of worship God recognizes, and as such God will never ever accept Sunday as a substitute. Politicians may legislate it, preachers might preach it and the clergy in our day may support it, but it will never be accepted by God, the same way that Cain’s brand of worship was rejected, because the passage of time does not alter any eternal truths which God has given to us.
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
