one day in seven

God has, in great mercy, given us a day, one day in seven, wherein to rest, and to
think of holy things. There were seven days that God had in the week. He said,
“Take six, and use them in your business.” No, we must have the seventh as well. It
is as if one, upon the road, saw a poor man in distress, and having but seven
shillings, the generous person gave the poor man six; but when the wretch had
scrambled on his feet, he followed his benefactor to knock him down, and steal the
seventh shilling from him. How many do this! The Sabbath is their day for sport, for
amusement, for anything but the service of God. They rob God of his day, though it
be but one in seven. This is base unthankfulness.

C.H. SPURGEON
