Genesis 2:2 (NKJV) 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Resting is something that God has said is very important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Genesis, there are many different scriptures that refer to God resting after He created everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s important to note that God\u00a0didn’t\u00a0need<\/em>\u00a0to rest. He is not a human being with a fleshly body that gets tired. He rested to set an example for us. He wanted to show us the importance of taking time to let our bodies recuperate and regain their strength after a week\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Today\u2019s cultures are largely fast-paced, with very little time taken to rest. Many people work 6-7 days per week now, creating situations where millions of people are trying to function at 100%, while running on empty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This can be very dangerous in so many ways. We get physically tired, which leads to emotional and spiritual weariness. And all of this leads to weakness in many\u00a0areas\u00a0of our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We can make some terrible mistakes and very poor choices when we\u2019re tired. Many very bad accidents happen when people are overtired. And some of the worst choices we make are made when we\u2019re tired and worn out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, if God has told us that we need to take time and rest, and He showed us by His own example, then we need to obey Him and set\u00a0aside\u00a0time each week to rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s not a question of \u201cif\u201d we should rest. God has already settled that question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s really a matter of \u201cwhy\u201d we should rest. And the \u201cwhy\u201d is because God has told us to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
