Ten Commandments – A Day of Worship

Greetings Dear Reader,

It would be dishonest to say that what passes for a “day of worship” in our era is far different from what was practiced by the desert people who received this law.  We fit a few hours of worship into the business of our weekend.  The day is anything but holy and by so many it is simply forgotten.

“Remember the day of worship by observing it as a holy day.” (GW)

It is a day to remember that we are being redeemed.  The one who made us is buying us back from our own failures.  He asks that we spend a seventh of our week focused on this redemption.  He asks for a day.  He ask that we keep it set apart from other days. 

“Call to mind the Day of Atonement to consecrate it and keep it separate.” (ATT)

I admit that I am very disillusioned with the church at times.  I am blessed to attend a church that is in most points very good.  On the whole though, I see little setting aside of the day in the lives of most Christ followers.  This day is a day for leisure and sport to most of us.  In that we rest but do not remember.  It is in the remembering that we find our footing.  It is in the keeping of a day that belongs only to God that we can be reminded that we also belong only to God.

Wishing you joy in the journey,
