Fellowship with God is the richest privilege afforded to man. The worship of God is life's loftiest vocation. The help of God is our most precious resource. Yet all influences of the physical world around us dim our vision of the Lord. The daily demands we face distract us from intimacy with Him.
Responsibilities related to work, education and family easily can take all our waking hours.
Our need for sleep, rest and recreation consume our hours. Without a special day set aside for God, a day in which we set aside other things to seek Him, we are likely to miss Him completely. Also, our world needs the testimony to God's importance that is provided by our giving honor to God one day in seven. This verse says that without a consciousness of God a people will start to disintegrate. When people lose sight of God they become lawless.
