"And on the seventh day God ended
his work
which he had made; and he rested on
the seventh day
from all his work which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it;
because that in it he had rested
from all his work which
God created and made."
Genesis 2:2,3
The
Lord's Time
There
was a story in a Texas church bulletin about a young man who was
working in a large department store, being told by his employer that he would be required to work on
Sunday.
It so
happened that the hours assigned to him would have
prevented his attending any of the worship services to which
he had been accustomed to attending since
childhood.
The
young man informed his employer that he would not be able
to continue his work under these conditions, and his
employer told him he would have to go.
A few
days later, the young man answered an ad in the paper from a
bank which had advertised a vacancy for a teller. In
checking the young man's previous employers,the bank
president contacted the department store head and
inquired as to the young man's record and
whether he could recommend him.
The
store manager replied,
"Why,
yes, I will be glad to recommend him.
He will
make you a good man.
I just
fired him a few days ago."
"Fired
him?" the bank president exclaimed.
"Why
would you recommend a man whom you just
recently
dismissed from your service?"
The
store manager explained the circumstances
under
which the young man was released,
and
remarked,
"I know
he will make you a good man for your bank,
because
if he will not steal the Lord's time,
he will
not steal your money."
