Topic: Sunday is Exclusively for God, Give it to Him
Bible Text: “Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days a week are set apart for your daily duties and regular work, 10 but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.”Exod. 20:8
If it were allowed, many of us would have requested for more than a 24-hour day to accomplish the numerous goals we set for ourselves. But alas, God has pegged it at 24 hours! Not only that, some of us would have wanted an elongated week that will be more than 7 days. God has fixed that too. Many would have preferred that the calendar year be altered and made longer than 365 days but the maximum extension God permitted here is additional one day that made a 366-day leap year! So God has fixed everything. The reasons are obvious – so we don’t keep working till we killed ourselves so that we can recount our blessings and failures, re-strategize and have a new beginning.
The Almighty God Himself laid a good example for us on how to use our days by resting on the 7th day. In six days we shall work and on the 7th day we have to rest and our rest should be to dedicate ourselves to worshipping God exclusively. It took me so long a time to be on the same page with God in this matter because I was always in haste to leave the church so soon. But when I became a worker and subsequently, a Pastor and had to attend various meetings after service, nobody taught me to adjust. Since I resolved to leave Sunday to God, I started enjoying peace with myself.
Many of us still make the mistake to think that Sunday should be shared with God. It should not be so. Whether you run from Monday all through to Sunday non-stop does not make you achieve all the goals you have set for yourself. Therefore Sunday is a day of reflection. A day to thank God for all you have achieved. A day to reappraise your relationship with God Almighty and adjust as appropriate. Let’s cultivate the habit of honouring our Creator, the LORD, and our GOD on Sundays. Today is one Sunday you must put God first. No appointment is greater than being with God today! Go to your fellowship centre.
Prayer point: Father, grant me the grace to accept the reality that I must give my Sundays exclusively to you and bless me as I do so from now on in Jesus’ name.
