I’ve noticed since coming into the “Truth” that everyone focuses on resting on the “Sabbath,” but I have honestly, never heard anyone emphasize the command that precedes the Sabbath. Which is to WORK, Labor, GRIND, 6 DAYS A WEEK.
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates” Exodus 20:9
“For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.” Exodus 23:12
Almost in every instance that the Sabbath Day of rest is mentioned, the commandment to work for 6 days precedes the Sabbath Day of Rest. God is practical, the Sabbath Day of rest was given to us as a refreshment day, a day to rest, after WORKING FOR 6 Days.
“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.”
Proverbs 24:33-34
The honest truth, is nearly every Man that I have met in the so-called “Truth” including myself, have been sitting around waiting for manna to fall from the sky, when our lord has commanded up TO LABOR. I pray that whoever hears this message, hears it with clarity and understanding. In Christ Name
