I have always been careful on how I handle
the Lord’s Day. There are a lot of
differences in our opinions on what we can and cannot do in it. Each of us must let the Lord guide us in
this. What concerns me the most is that
for many of us, the Lord’s Day is not looked upon as being any different than
any other day of the week. We have no
qualms about what we do. We fill it with
so much activity that we are ill-prepared to begin another work week. We don’t let our bodies or souls rest long
enough to be refreshed. We don’t give
much thought to honoring the Lord or letting the Lord’s Day be a day of worship
and rest. In fact, many of us aren’t
bothered much at all if we don’t even make it to church to worship Him.
You have to let the
Lord guide you in this, but I would challenge you to at least take into
consideration what the Lord says in His Word about remembering the Sabbath Day
and keeping it holy. Regardless of which
day you choose to set aside in your week for a day of rest and worship, it is
clear to me that the Lord requires that we do it. To not have a Lord’s Day in your week is an
act of disobedience. It is sin.
Jesus said that it is
okay to do good on the Sabbath. He does
not say that we can do anything we want to do.
We need to carefully consider the good that we do or don’t do. If what you do serves no good eternal
purpose, then I challenge you to wait before the Lord about it and let His
Spirit guide you as to whether or not you should continue to do what you do.
You have to let the
Lord guide you in this, but I would challenge you to at least take this into
consideration. If we don’t give our
souls time to refocus on the Lord and appreciate the life He gives us to live,
we will dry up and wither away in our faith.
We need to set aside a day to be renewed in our souls through praise,
thanksgiving, and meditation on His Word.
You cannot keep your soul healthy unless you do.
