Since I started a bus driver, I have not been able to keep Sunday church
services sincerely.
All drivers are supposed to work any five days a week. When
Sunday is rostered to me as a working day, we can't avoid it. There's no
exception, even for Christians.
When I applied for a bus driver, it was the biggest issue. I prayed to God, asking for his guidance.

The answer came through Matthew 12, which is about the Sabbath. The disciples
of Jesus were hungry, so they picked to eat the heads of grain.
The problem was that the work of picking grains on the Sabbath was unlawful in terms of Jewish law. The Pharisees blamed the disciples.
But Jesus stood behind the disciples. He went even further, healing a man with a shriveled hand.

Jesus proclaimed, "The Son of Man is Lord of the
Sabbath," and, "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."
I understood the
Scripture to let me go for a bus driver's job. God was leading me to a bus
driver's life.
If it's true, what about Sunday church service? What if I
don't observe it?
For me, serving passengers is offering a service. That's what Romans 12:1 says.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."
When I work on Sunday, I worship God on the bus. Serving passengers is my Sunday offering as a living sacrifice.

Therefore, my worship will never stop
forever. Halleluiah!
