FOURTH COMMANDMENT.....

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy"

 

 

The Sabbath is much more than a weekly day of rest. It is the one day each week that we devote totally to God, and thus it is a good regulator and barometer of our relationship with Him. Do you know the Mars bar advertisement? “A Mars a day helps you work, rest, and play!”—That was smart, because the advertisers knew that we all value those things. And some of us are much better in one of these areas than in others. Are you a good worker? Do you love your work? Are you committed to it?

 

This is from the internet...

 

IN PRISON—You spend the majority of your time in a 10×10 cell.
AT WORK—You spend the majority of your time in an 8×8 cubicle.

IN PRISON—You get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK—You get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON—They allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK—You aren’t even supposed to speak to your family.

IN PRISON—You must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK—They are called managers.

Are you a workaholic?

What does this commandment mean?

To keep one day each week special to remember God and to rest. But notice that it also says to work hard for six days! If God could take a rest, so can you! God is God and you are not. Rest reminds us we are not indispensable, and whenever we sleep the world goes on just fine without us!

We are:

SALT—to make our workplace less rotten!
LIGHT—to show Gods glory.
YEAST—to quietly infiltrate and multiply.

Everyday is a Sabbath day for the Christian—separated to God, for worship, and to rest from our labors.
