Exodus 20.1-2, 8-11
And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery…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 to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and 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.
So much, LORD, needs to change in my life if I am going to be able to keep this commandment. Take from me any vestiges of legalism and replace them with a burning desire to keep the Lord’s Day holy. Peel the onion so that my life will become a suitable sacrifice of praise to You.
