Rest
April 15, 2009
Hey everybody, hope you are enjoying your break and taking some time to rest. Yes, I said rest.
We often blow off rest and stay as busy as possible, but God really values rest. Why do you think he created the universe in 6 days, then decided to rest? I think he was trying to model that for us. As God, I doubt he really needed to rest and relax, but I think part of the reason he did it was to show us that we need rest. If even God rested, do we think we are so much better than God that we don’t rest? That seems ridiculous. Out of the Ten Commandments, the commandment that God took the most time explaining was about the Sabbath, which is supposed to be for rest.
So, take it from a guy who doesn’t do this so well: REST. Take it easy. Relax. Enjoy some time with family and friends. Don’t forget the talent show Wednesday and FREE bowling this Saturday in Solvay.
