Make Time to Rest

Anyone who knows me knows there’s nothing I like more than to chill at the weekends. Like most people, my week can get very busy. There’s the early morning school runs, work, pick ups and drop offs plus so much more. So having moments at the weekend to simply rest feels amazing.

In this week’s Bible cartoon, Moses shares the story of Creation with the Israelites. Moses explains that in the beginning, God was very busy making the whole world. God created everything that would make the Earth a beautiful, wonderful and safe place for all of creation to live in. Each day he added something new. But on the seventh day, God did not make anything. Instead, God blessed the day, made it holy and rested.

So why did God need a day to rest? I’m pretty sure he wasn’t tired – after all he’s the most powerful being ever! God made a whole day of rest as a gift for us. God knew that taking time to relax might not come naturally to us, so he showed us how to do it and led by example. In fact, resting is so important to God, he made time to rest one of the Ten Commandments
