MEDITATION
Exodus 20:7-11
7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall labour and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

沉思
《出埃及记 20:7-11》
7 “不可妄称耶和华你神的名,因为妄称耶和华名的,耶和华必不以他为无罪。
8 “当记念安息日,守为圣日。
9 六日要劳碌做你一切的工,
10 但第七日是向耶和华你神当守的安息日。这一日你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜,并你城里寄居的客旅,无论何工都不可做。11 因为六日之内,耶和华造天、地、海和其中的万物,第七日便安息,所以耶和华赐福于安息日,定为圣日。
