Lift Off! The 10 (2015) - Day 07
Day 07 - Commandment 4
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. (Exodus 20:8-11)
Pray that we will follow your creation principle of rest.
- That we will honor Your wisdom.
- That we will not allow the American “rat race” to rob us of stopping to look at the sunset (Psalm 24:1).
- That You will help us to be diligent and faithful workers (students), but at the same time guard us from becoming slaves to our earthly employments (professors/teachers/leaders) (Colossians 3:22–24).
- That we will not allow busyness and worldly pleasures to destroy the immense worth and uniqueness of the Lord’s Day.
- That we would value corporate and especially private acts of worship and learning from God’s Word (Acts 20:7).
