Genesis 2:1-7

Thus the Heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.

And on the Seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the Seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Then God blessed the Seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God has created and made.

This is the history of the Heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the Heavens.

Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man  to till the ground.

But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.

Devotion.

Our Creator God rested from all His creative work and rested on the Sabbath day from all HIs work that He had created and made.

He set an example for us to rest on the Seventh day because God knew that we would need a day of rest from all our work and activities of the week.

The Lord blessed the Seventh day and sanctified it,  and it is a Holy day unto the Lord, in that He rested from all His creative work, setting an example for us to follow.

And in God’s commandments we are told to ” Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord our God, and in it we shall do no work.

We should worship, praise, magnify, glorify and exalt the Lord God on His Holy Sabbath day.

And give Him all the worship, praise love and adoration that our Creator God, the only true and living God deserves.

Prayer (for you)

Creator God.

I worship, praise and glorify You on this Your Holy Sabbath day.

A day You blessed and made holy.

You rested from all Your creative work on the seventh day, setting an example for us to follow.

Because You created us and You knew that we would need a day of rest, and a day to worship, praise and adore the Lord God, the Almighty Creator God.

Thank You for all that You have done for us.

I love and adore, worship and praise You.

In Jesus’ name, I pray with thanksgiving.

Amen.

Hymn.

Don’t forget the Sabbath.

The Lord our God, hath blest.

Of all the week the brightest.

Of all the week the best.

It brings repose (rest) from labour.

It tells of joy Divine.

Its beams of light descending.

With Heavenly beauty shine.

Chorus.

Welcome, welcome ever welcome.

Blessed Sabbath day.

Welcome, welcome ever welcome.

Blessed Sabbath day.

2.

Keep the Sabbath holy.

And worship Him today.

Who said to His disciples.

” I am the living way.”

And if we meekly follow.

Our Saviour here below.

He’ll give us of the fountain.

Whose streams eternal flow.

3.

Day of sacred pleasure!

Its golden hours we’ll spend.

In thankful hymns to Jesus.

The children’s – the people’s dearest Friend.

O gentle loving Saviour.

How good and kind Thou art.

How precious is Thy promise.

To dwell in every heart.

Welcome, welcome, ever welcome.

Blessed Sabbath day.

Praise the Lord God, our Creator God.

Amen.
