"The Sabbath is a sign between God and His people, a sign that they are worshiping the Creator, the One who made the heavens and the earth. It is a memorial of God's creative power, a reminder of His mighty works in bringing forth the world from chaos and peopling it with inhabitants. The Sabbath is to be kept holy, a day of rest and relaxation from worldly cares and business, a day of communion with God, a day of contemplation of His works and ways. By keeping the Sabbath holy, we acknowledge God's sovereignty over us, and testify to our loyalty to Him as our Creator and Redeemer. The Sabbath is a day of spiritual refreshing, a day when we can lay aside our worldly cares and occupations, and devote ourselves to spiritual exercises, to prayer, to meditation, and to the study of God's word. It is a day when we can come into harmony with God, and receive strength and grace to carry us through the week." - Ellen G. White, The Faith I Live By, p. 288.
