Our Acts and Our Words

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 58:13-14

“When the Sabbath commences, we should place a guard upon ourselves, upon our acts and our words, lest we rob God by appropriating to our own use that time which is strictly the Lord’s. We should not do ourselves, nor suffer our children to do, any manner of our own work for a livelihood or anything which could have been done on the six working days.”

—Child Guidance, p. 529

Sabbath Tip
On the seventh day, our thoughts, actions, and words should be focused on our Creator and all He has done. Because our minds wander so easily, intentionally monitoring our thoughts becomes a valuable practice that can help us avoid speaking or acting in ways that dishonor this sacred day.
