4256 — UNABLE TO KEEP THE SABBATH
By Editor
If a man knows that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and is not able to keep it, because he can't make a living for his family, will God accept him and forgive him? The same kind of question might be asked in regard to any one of the commandments of God. We know of no exceptions that God makes on the behalf of any individual, in the matter of observing His moral law; but we do know of a great many promises of power to enable individuals under all conditions and circumstances to do the will of our heavenly Father. Some of the greatest difficulties that may be presented to impede our progress are often permitted for the purpose of showing God's power in our behalf, and in order that we may learn to trust Him with living faith. And in view of the plain teaching of His word, and of His exceeding great and precious promises, all such questions as this must be answered between the individual himself and his God.
