ISAIAH 58

13 “If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,

    from doing your pleasure on my holy day,

and call the Sabbath a delight

    and the holy day of the Lord honourable;

if you honour it, not going your own ways,

    or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly;

14 then you shall take delight in the Lord,

    and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;

I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

    for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

MAKE SUNDAY SPECIAL

Is Sunday special to you?

We say we will go to church, Sunday school (if you are in America), or if we are really spiritual, we may even go to the Sunday evening service.

What about the rest of the day? Is that yours to enjoy? Once we have attended church, do we say, “We have done our duty?”

It is not enough to go to church: we are called to delight in the day that is set aside to worship our God. After church, it is so difficult not to watch TV and do our own thing. I am not saying that you should sit in the pews from sunrise to sunset, but you should have an attitude of worship that extends beyond the typical church service.

One of the best things to do is not to talk idly, especially after church.  To talk idly, is to engage in gossip and conversations that lead to discord among fellow believers.

A final question: How will you glorify God on the day set aside to worship Him?  Will you limit your worship to the time you spend in church, or will you give God praise in your home, and throughout your day?

God bless you
