Who can afford to take time to rest with so much to do?

Genesis 2:1-3So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

When God rested from his work of creation, he set an example for us to follow. He knew we would benefit from a day of rest each week. We cannot afford not to rest.

Exodus 20:8-11“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God.”

God commands his people to observe times of physical and spiritual refreshment, even if we are busy.
