Genesis 2
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Please take the time to go back and read Genesis 1 in its entirety.
It’s important that we take time to rest. Seeing that even our Father which art in Heaven rested from all His creation. We too should take time to simply rest?
We live in a day and time where everything is hustle and bustle. Every day is something that has to be done. The enemy has a way of making us feel like the walls are closing in on us. Like we are always pressed for time. Or that we can’t take a break because bills still need to be paid. Families are torn apart because husbands don’t spend the necessary time with their wives and vice verse. As well as children feeling neglected (turning to outside sources) because parents are constantly working with the mindset of “I have to provide” but at what cost?
Matthew 6:31-34
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Grab and go: Husbands make time for your wives, and wives make time for your husbands. It might be a sacrifice to put off washing the car or taking care of the lawn or ladies given up your hair or nail apt.( whatever it is your accustom to doing). Don’t neglect the gift God has given you; spend time with your bride/groom. Parents likewise spend time with your children. Let them see your love for them through your sacrifice to spend time with them. Dads throw a baseball with your sons. Moms take your daughters to a movie. Something to show them you care. If you don’t have a spouse or children, then take time for yourself. Take a day and hit the spa, and relax. Take time to rest, its needed. Psalms 16:9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
