What does it mean to rest? In the culture in which we live today, I think people believe that rest is taking a break from the toils of our work. I think people use the excuse of rest so they won’t have to do all sorts of things (like chores, responsibilities, etc.). I need to rest so I don’t have time to do blank.
What does it mean that God rested on the seventh day after he spent six days creating everything. Did God need to take a break from his toils? I don’ think so. So why does the Bible say that God rested? God ceased to work on day seven so that he could delight in what he had made. God delighted in creation calling it very good.
Do you take time each week to delight in God’s creation? Do you stop and look around at all God has created and just marvel? Or are you like me most of the time and I barely have time to do anything I would like to do so I just keep doing all the things that I “have” to do? God wants us to set aside time each week to delight in the creation that he has made and the creation that he has given us to enjoy.
Many of us probably don’t even set aside one day in a month or one day in a year to delight in the creation that God has given us, and yet God asked the Israelites (His people) to set aside one day a week to delight in Him and His creation. That day is the Sabbath. Challenge yourselves to find at least some time each week to set aside to delight in God and His creation. Sabbath is a blessing from God!
