When God said "REMEMBER".......

When God said "REMEMBER".......
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. EXODUS 20:8-11

What the Sabbath Contravenes

"Sabbath observance therefore involves the affirmation that God is Creator and Sustainer of the world.
To "remember the Sabbath" (Exodus 20:8) identified the seven-day-
a-week rhythm of life as belonging to the Creator.
*Sabbath contravenes any pride that may accompany human mastery and manipulation of God's creation.
*In ceasing from labor one is reminded of one's true status as a dependent being, of the God who cares for and sustains all his creatures, and of the world as a reality belonging ultimately to God." B.S.T.
