The Name and the Day

WHEN the Lord exhorted his people to obedience, and warned them of the fruits of disobedience, it was, as he said to them,—
“That thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD.” Deut. 28: 58.
That is his name, fixed by himself to declare not only his majesty and glory, but his relationship to his creatures—our God. To every soul he declares himself, “The Lord thy God.”
And when he commands the observance of his holy Sabbath, it is in “this glorious and fearful name” that he makes the declaration,—
“The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.”
How can any one who fears God turn from his plain command? His glorious and fearful name is in the day. Do you take God as your God? Then take his Sabbath also; for it is “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” W. A. S.
