God's top ten 4

It's interesting when you look at the account found in the book of Genesis. We see that God created the heavens and the earth. We see Him create all the light. We see Him create all the animals. And He creates Adam. After He finishes this glorious work He sees that it is all good, and He rests on the seventh day. A lot of people today miss out on the importance of this commandment. We live in a world that is filled with workaholics. People everywhere desire the most extravagant style of living. This causes them to have to work, work, work. There is an old saying that goes, "There is no rest for the wicked." In a lot ways that is true. The fourth commandment says, "Remember the Sabbath day, keep it holy." God did not create man for the Sabbath. He created the Sabbath for man. Every believer should take one day out of the week and use it for rest. On this day of rest it is vitally important to meditate and focus on God's greatness. God knows that we easily get distracted. That is why he has deliberately commanded us to stop what we are doing and worship Him.
