Psalm 121:3-4 says that God does not sleep nor slumber. He has no need of it as sleep and slumber is a human need. God is ready and active 24/7, 365 days of the year to help us, to hear our prayers, to answer, to provide for our needs, to lead us, to protect us, to accomplish His will in our lives. What a wonderful thing this is! He is always acting on our behalf!
Not everyone's life and work shifts are the same (these days in history). If we read what God says in Genesis and Leviticus, we can understand the importance.
Importance to gather together as a group and worship the God that we love so much. He wants us to be there in a group to love on each other and comfort those who are beat down by life.
Sometimes a "hi how are you, and a holy hug" will really make someone else feel they can get through another week of trials, they are dealing with.
Jewish culture is somewhat different than American culture. Israel is a much smaller country. Not spread out like the USA, or Europe or elsewhere. I think we can be a community as a church and teach outward to those who live in it. Everything about God is showing family and community strength.
I'm reading the Bible "through" the lense of Gods Will for us: community that outreaches families in that community.
We live in a culture now, that is accustomed to using SOCIAL MEDIA, to touch friends or people who share our particular beliefs. Online life is not the same for everybody.
Bottom line: as God says, we work 6 days and the 7th Day is Sabbath. We work within the Known Will of God.
Love one another as I have loved you__what is so difficult that we cannot work that into our routines? It pleases God when we do that.
When I was working, I would bake awesome chocolate chip cookies 1 day a week. Wrap them in aluminum foil with a mini bow on it. Pray: "come and taste the goodness of the Lord; in Jesus Name". I always got to work early because of traffic. I put them on peoples desks. They knew I did it. :)
Try to touch people and include them in your joy of being God's child. We are His Church, and I think that Church is everywhere the soles of our feet go. "GO YE" into all of your world. Externalize; Not internalize.
I feel like I must add that I am not a Seventh-day Adventist.
I am a nondenominational Bible believing Christian who has always attended a Sunday service. We had Saturday services too but did not honor God on the Sabbath by resting and refraining from doing our own will. I do lean heavily on the Pentecostal side Because I believe in the gifts of the spirit as the Bible teaches them. I believe in being lead of the spirit and worshiping God in spirit and truth.
I don't know everything about the Seventh-day Adventist church I don't know anything really except for they believe in worshiping on the Sabbath. And keeping the Sabbath holy, I assume.
Respectfully,
I am a little nervous personally about putting any stock into Ellen White's prophecies because I don't know if she was a true prophetess. But even if she was I would not build my doctrine on her prophecies.
The Bible is my doctrine. My only doctrine. The Old Testament and the New Testament that's my doctrine. Anything outside of that is not my doctrine. I just wanted to clarify that. I am not putting anybody down I'm just clarifying.
Sunday worship has always felt a little weird to me for some reason I don't know why because like I said nobody has ever taught about the Sabbath in any church that I have attended. I would like to find a Bible only church that believes in worshipping on the Sabbath. Because that's what Jesus did. He always set an example for us. He was in the temple on the Sabbath teaching and worshiping. I don't know everything but I am studying it. And trying to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling.
It's also a commandment. And I believe we should honor all of the Ten Commandments. And try to keep them.
I don't remember my Sunday keeping church ever teaching on the Sabbath. So when I read it in the Bible I always had questions in my spirit about it. I too am seeking answers.

Sirach 43:6-8
Common English Bible
6 The moon stands at its proper time,[a]
a notification of times
and an everlasting sign.
7 The sign for a feast comes from the moon,
a luminous body that wanes
when it completes its course.
8 The new moon shares the character
of its name,[b]
increasing wonderfully as it changes,
a signal on high for armies,[c]
shining in the vault of the sky.
