“Remember the Sabbath
Day, to keep it Holy”
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is
the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall
do no work therein, it is the Sabbath of the Eternal
in all your dwellings. Leviticus 23:3
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up:
and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue
on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:16
Do You Keep
Saturday Holy?
Saturday is that one day of the week that can’t come
soon enough. Especially after a hard week of work
and the seemingly endless demands each weekday
brings; Saturday is the one day eagerly desired; the
day many can’t wait for.
TGIF – you know what that means. And so people by
the millions across the United States are overjoyed
when Friday rolls around. And why? What day comes
next?
As Friday evening settles in, a resurgence of energy
awakens. At bars, dance clubs, as friends gather,
getting together, hanging out, carousing; on into
the early morning hours of Saturday. Who stays out
that late? Why? For what purpose? Personal pleasures
are pursued, people let loose, get wild, go crazy.
Self interests and frivolous activities take
priority. Who cares; just be yourself!
All the more, Saturday is the primary day for retail
activities, for shopping, for leisure pursuits, for
Mary Kay and Pampered Chef parties; for sporting
activities, for baseball games, for entertainment,
golf, picnics, birthday parties, weddings. Saturday
is the day for “getting caught up;” for cleaning the
house, doing the landscaping, washing the car,
buying new tires, taking care of one’s personal
business. Saturday is the day to take care of doing
all the things that are self-rewarding and
physically focused.
Saturday is the day people need in order to do the
things that allow one to get caught up with all of
life’s demands. Saturday is a tedious, laborious,
action-packed day. Saturday is a personal pursuit
day. In the minds of carnal human beings; in the
eyes of just about every citizen of the United
States and those of the world, Saturday is anything
but the Day of Rest.
