The Time He Has Blessed

Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Isaiah 56:2

“It is as ruthless a violation of the law to occasionally use the Sabbath for secular business as to entirely reject it; for it is making the Lord’s commandments a matter of convenience. … He who would scorn to defraud his fellow man will without shame rob his heavenly Father of the time that He has blessed and set apart for a special purpose.”

—Counsels for the Church, p. 269

Sabbath Tip
If we keep the Sabbath wholeheartedly, acknowledging its sacredness, we’ll naturally resist any temptation to do business on that day. Treating the Sabbath as a mere matter of convenience undermines its sacred purpose. But God promises a special blessing on those who consistently honor His holy day.
