And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:2-3
“Like the Sabbath, the week originated at creation. … God himself measured off the first week as a sample for successive weeks to the close of time. Like every other, it consisted of seven literal days. Six days were employed in the work of creation; upon the seventh, God rested, and he then blessed this day, and set it apart as a day of rest for man.”

Sabbath TipHave you ever wondered why the few historical attempts at changing to a longer or shorter week have ended in failure? The answer is found in Genesis. Just as unalterable as the seven-day week is the seventh-day Sabbath, which was also established by our Creator at the beginning of the world. Though some people have tried to shift the Sabbath to another day, their attempts were always destined to fail. Ask God to help you faithfully honor His true holy day.
