Humans Day 7
Genesis 2: Thus the heavens and the earth,
and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And
on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the
seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested
from all His work which God had created and made.
============
GOD had created water, light, day, night, outer space,
stars, sky, air, vegetation, dry land, minerals, birds, fish, animals, insects,
good bacteria and humans. HE said it was “very good.” HE then did something
strange. HE took time to purposefully rest. HE set this day apart as special by
blessing the day.
My Observations:
- GOD, with HIS infinite power, took time to rest.
- GOD deliberately ended HIS work of creation for humans after the sixth rotation of the earth.
- GOD demonstrated to humans that rest is important.
Finishing the work was important, but resting seemed just as
important to GOD. HE does not sleep or slumber. HE never gets tired and never
runs out of energy. But we do. HE made humans with limitations. We need to eat
and rest to survive. As important as creating the universe was, GOD saw it
fitting to turn it off for a day.
Challenge
- Why does GOD, who does not need sleep, tell Moses HE rested?
- Have you ever thought that you should work seven days a week?
- Will you consider intentionally resting from all work to take time to listen to GOD for a full day?
