GOD rested on the seventh to give us an example to follow.
you and i need rest. we were built that way. if we don’t rest, we’ll break down. GOD says in exodus 20.9-11 (ncv), work and get everything done during six days each week. but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the LORD your GOD. the reason is that in six days GOD made everything. the sky, the earth, the sea and everything in them. on the seventh day HE rested.
i would suspect not many of us are resting one day out of the seven. and that’s one of the things that is stealing joy, stealing purpose in our lives.
how you rest is between you and the LORD. but you and i need rest. we need rest physically, we need rest emotionally, we need rest SPIRITually where we recharge. for most of us that day of rest is going to be the day of worship. that’s the best day because you’re already at church, already focusing on the LORD.
the key is in our hectic life that we live, we need to rest. GOD rested as an example to us.
just a thought from the front porch…
