A lot has been written and said about the ten commandments. I will, therefore, not bore you with that which you know already as I value your time.

But for my next three postings, starting today, I would like to divide the ten commandments as found in the book of Exodus chapter twenty, into three sections:

1. The only commandment with the word “Remember.”
2. The only commandment with a promise.
3. The 8 commandments with the phrase “You shall not.”

I will start with the one that reads “Remember.”

There must have been a reason why the good Lord included the phrase “Remember.”

If anything, this is the one commandment that has been forgotten days without number by not a few, but the majority. Reflect, if you can, on the following:

1. A good number see the Sabbath as just another day. It’s just another day and carries no blessings. According to them,any day can do.

2. There are others who used to remember this day but decided to forget it due to several reasons best known to them.

3. There are those who remember it but then don’t keep it holy. The Sabbath hours are not holy any more. They go to church yes but after that, they go into othersecular business.

You and I will do well to re-examine this issue again.
God who from the very beginning told us to remember it knew what He was saying.

You and I might not agree with part or the entirecommandment. Nevertheless remember that this is what the Bible says.

Blessings.
