Exodus 20:9
Six days you shall labor, and do all your work.
If you are working for the weekend, you are trying to have two Lord’s Days; which is to say, you do not want one Lord.
You cannot gain more free time by taking two days off, but you can lose your freedom that way. He who is not content with one day off will find one day in the courts of the Lord too many, and one thousand days elsewhere too few.
"God planned for normal fatigue when He put the lights out on earth every night. He also set one day aside out of every seven for additional rest." -- Jim Wilson, Weapon and Tactics: A Handbook on Personal Evangelism
Work is good and we need to sleep each day to recover from the last and to prepare for the next. We have one day in seven on which to focus our efforts on worshiping our God with our people. We then work from rest.
While the world works five days to rest for two, the Christians rests one day in order to work for six.
