The Sabbath was a day set aside for test and worship. God commanded a Sabbath because human beings need to spend unhurried time in worship and rest each week. A God who is concerned enough to provide a day each week for us to rest is indeed wonderful. To observe a regular time of rest and worship in our fast-paced world demonstrates how important God is to us, and it gives us the extra benefit of refreshing our spirits. Don’t neglect God’s provision.--- Life Application Bible notesPRAYERDear Heavenly Father,You took one day of rest after your week of creating the world.Thank you for giving us this privilege of pause to refuel our energy through rest, worship and fellowship.May Your presence drive out anger, fear, worry and regret. Quiet my heart, give rest to my soul, and refocus my spirit for true renewal.Encourage me to find peaceful rest in You and You alone.May everything we do bring glory to Your Kingdom.In Jesus’ name.Amen
