A Day of Rest

October 29

I don’t have trouble with the day of rest part but I struggle with keeping the day holy. How much of what I do is holy?

Jesus was criticized for working on the Sabbath when he performed miracles. His response was, “can’t you do good on the Sabbath?” Doing good! That helps, I guess if it is good in God’s eye then it might be considered holy.

If I can live as God commanded, loving Him and loving my neighbors as myself that would be good. In fact, loving my neighbors as myself would be a miracle and miracles are holy.

God tells us to, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” (Exodus 20:8)
