EXODUS 31:17. “It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.” A SIGN. Signs are not always boards by the road, Or advertisements to get you to buy. They can be evidence given by the Lord, From seasons to colors in the sky.
One that stands out across the world so wide, Is the Sabbath day set apart for the Jews. That day tells humanity, the Lord says, “They’re mine, If you attack them, I guarantee you’ll lose.”
It was to be a holy day to that nation alone - Setting them clearly aside from every other group. It was serious enough to affect every home – God intended they would place only in Him their hope.
When God makes a covenant with them or with us, Remember it is never to be taken lightly. It is a perpetual agreement that in Him is our trust – If I deny Him before men, before angels He’ll deny me.
The Sabbath is not a sign to the Church today, It was given to remind Israel they were His. The New Covenant we have – hear and obey, Is a sign that what is His will, I will choose.
“Father, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I give thanks this morning that You have been willing to let me be identified with the kingdom of God. I hope there is the sign of my covenant with You in the response I make today to Your revealed will. Amen.”
