Our month is based on the moon, our year on the sun, but what
\nabout a week? The seven day week is based on God\u2019s creation
\nweek. Atheist dictator Stalin tried to erase God from the Soviet
\nUnion by instituting a 10 day week. People would work nine days
\nand then rest the tenth day. It was not successful because people\u2019s
\nbodies could not stand the strain of working nine days with only
\nthe tenth day of rest. Others have also tried to eradicate the seven
\nday week, but to no avail. The pattern of a seven day week is a
\nreminder of God creating everything in six days and resting on the
\nseventh day.
\nWe also find God reminding us of this pattern in Exodus 20:8-10,
\n\u201cRemember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall
\nlabor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the
\nLord your God, on it you shall not do any work\u2026 For in six days
\nthe LORD made the heavens and the Earth, the sea and all that is
\nin them, but he rested on the seventh day.\u201d Here we see the pattern
\nfor a week repeated again; work six days and rest the seventh day.
\nThe God of all creation could have created everything in a split
\nsecond, but He did not. This all powerful God knew what we
\nneeded; He knew what our bodies could handle. From the very
\nbeginning of time, He set the pattern for a seven day week \u2013 for our
\nbenefit.
\nThen he said unto them \u201cThe sabbath was made for man, not man for the
\nsabbath.\u201d – Mark 2:27<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
