Good for you, Benjamin!

There is blessing in obedience and you may find as we have, great benefits in trying, by God's grace, to keep the Fourth Commandment. Keeping it will change your life pattern, but we have found the blessings tangible.

It is very difficult (impossible) to keep- it even applies to thinking about your work and entertaining yourself but as you substitute focused worship on God, you will be blessed (and really rest). God will honor your faithfulness.

As to the "positive, moral and perpetual" basis for the Fourth Commandment, the Westminster Confession has these proof texts:

Exodus 20:8, 10-11
Isaiah 56:2,4,6-7
Genesis 2:2-3
I Corinthians 16:1
Acts 20:7
