There are only two more Shabbosim left in the year. Reb Yechezkel Levinstein zt'l would tell his students every year that if we keep these Shabbosim properly, we will be saved from all troubles. Chazal say (Shabbos 118:), נגאלין מיד כהלכתן שבתות שתי ישראל משמרים אלמלי, "If Yidden will keep two Shabbosim properly, they will immediately be redeemed." Reb Yechezkel Levinstein explained that redemption is also on an individual level. When a Yid keeps two Shabbosim properly, he will be redeemed from all his tzaros. (The Chidushei HaRim zt'l similarly explains this Gemara.)
Reb Yechezkel Levinstein would say this vort every year before Shabbos parashas Ki Savo. Shortly before his petira, Reb Yechezkel was too weak to come to yeshiva, so he sent his son-in-law to tell this vort to the students.
It states in this week's parashah (26:17-18) היום האמירך 'וה ...היום האמרת 'ה את. The words האמרת and האמירך are difficult to translate. Rashi writes that these words (in this context) aren't found anywhere else in Tanach.
Or Zarua (Hilchos Shabbos 42) says that the pasuk refers to the importance of praising Hashem on Shabbos. We quote: "The Pesukei d'Zimra of Shabbos is longer than of a weekday because, on Shabbos, HaKadosh Baruch Hu doesn't want the praise of the malachim. He only wants to hear praise from the Jewish nation. The Midrash states on the pasuk (Yeshaya 6:2) כנפים שש לאחד כנפים שש לאחד, 'Six wings to one, six wings to one,' that the malachim sing during the six days of the week, each day with another wing. On Shabbos, the malachim say to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, 'Ribono Shel Olam, we do not have a wing with which to sing before You! Give us another wing so we can sing.' HaKadosh Baruch Hu replies 'I have a wing on earth that sings before me on this day, as it states (Yeshaya 24:16) שמענו זמירות הארץ מכנף, 'From the wing of the earth we heard songs.' I think that this is the intention of האמרת 'ה היום, that on this המיוחד יום, special day, which is Shabbos [we praise Hashem] Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants this praise more than the praise of malachim" (see also Tosfos Sanhedrin 37: who quotes the teshuvos hageonim).
Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh of Ziditchov zt'l says that שבת is gematriya מאד בכל אהבה ,נפש בכל אהבה ,לב בכל אהבה, "Love with the entire heart, love with the entire soul, love with the entire strength."
