It’s Lawful To Do Well On The Sabbath. Part [16] 11/07/2026 (Morning thought)

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him.

Furthermore, whenever Sabbath keeping Christians do not clearly state their case up front, it may inhibit God’s working in a marvelous manner for you, if and when you run into trouble. Many years ago, I had an interview for a well-paying job, and as the prospective employer went through the various questions, he decided to hire me. I then told him in that first interview that I would never be working on the Sabbath, for any reason, no matter how urgent, because that’s God’s holy day.

His countenance fell, like Cain, and he told me that Saturday was his busiest day of the week, so that I would be required to show up if I wanted the job. I then informed him that there is no wiggle room on the issue, so he bade me farewell, and I left without the job. That interview took place on Friday. Lo and behold,  first thing on Monday morning, he called me back, and told me to come on over for the job.

That’s because, according to him, if a person is willing to lose a good paying job over the Sabbath issue, they wanted such a person on their team. Then he added, that after thinking about it, he had understood why it was so important to me, because he himself was a Jew, knowing that the Sabbath is God’s holy day. Very often, in those first interviews, persons waver, so that The Lord does not know if we are coming or going.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

 May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
