The Rest of the Week

“God saw that a Sabbath was essential for man, even in Paradise. … He needed a Sabbath to remind him more vividly of God and to awaken gratitude because all that he enjoyed and possessed came from the beneficent hand of the Creator.”

—Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 48

Since unfallen people needed the weekly day of rest, how much more do you think we need it now? How will you express your gratitude to God this Sabbath?
