Day 4: Saturday

It is now Saturday, a day I used to deem my fun day.  Now, it is normally my work day since I try to catch up on homework for the week to come.  Some people like to think of Saturday as the sabbath.  Others say it is Sunday.  Aside from that, we need to respect the command that we should keep the sabbath.  However, is it really at our inconvenience?
In the New Testament, Jesus preaches against the pharisees who condemn him for doing any work such as picking grains to eat on the sabbath.  But what did God intend for us?  I can't answer for God, but I can give my own opinion.  God knows what we need and God will help us to get it.  God knows that we get tired and stressed over the weeks, so God commanded us to take a day off.  We should respect it by using it.  Have you ever felt guilty for not using a gift you received on Christmas?  Have you ever felt annoyed that somebody never used that expensive gift you gave it on its birthday?  Imagine what good we can do in thanks to God for giving us a day for ourselves.  That isn't to say that we should force it on others.  God gives us our own work and God gives us our own rest.  If we take advantage of them and use them, we will respect God to the fullest with respect to this gift.
