Read Isa. 58:13-14
The last verses in this chapter talks about the Sabbath and making it holy. When I was a little girl there were no stores open on Sunday. The nation honored Sunday as a day for God. Now it is uncommon for a major store to be closed on Sunday. There are a few stores who refuse to open on Sundays like Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-a. These are known as Christian businesses and are thriving because of their stand on Sunday. But, the reason stores are open on Sunday is because we shop on Sunday. I know I am guilty. Verse 13 says that we are not to do what we want on the Sabbath but to honor him and not work. The rewards are in the next verse. Our heart will be turned toward the Lord. He will cause us to be exalted in the earth and inherit the promises in this Bible. That is hard to pass up.
Lord, help us to choose you first, and honor you on Sundays and not do our own thing but set it aside for you.
