How does the Lord, through the prophet Isaiah, indicate what is true Sabbath-keeping?
Answer
"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, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor
finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: then shall 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." Isa. 58: 13, 14.
NOTE - "Whether the Sabbath becomes a delight or a burden depends upon the spirit with which
a man meets it. Indeed, the spirit of the man settles the question as to the benefits to come from any duty he
may perform. One man cannot understand why his neighbor should prefer the park or the ball ground to the
church, simply because his spirit is different. He has cultivated the higher nature until he loves spiritual
things above all others, and to him the Sabbath is indeed a delight. It comes to his weary soul as a reminder
of God, and brings him nearer to heaven in heart and mind than does any other day." - Sabbath Recorder,
December 12, 1910.
