Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
After God finished His creative work He gave to man the memorial that was to ever keep in view the fact that all things were made by Him and whenever and wherever persons acknowledge this memorial, their understanding and outlook on life would be greatly changed for the better, since the God-factor makes all the difference.
Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 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.
The keeping of the seventh day Sabbath has much more to it than merely resting on the day God has ordained for that purpose. The memorial has to do with us incorporating the God-factor into everyday experiences, so that our perspectives and concepts would be guided by that overarching phrase: In The Beginning-God.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
