“And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested (ceased) on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is, set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and done.” (Genesis 2:2-3, AMP)
Few things can foster an appreciation for rest the way a day of challenging work can. Work that was demanding and stretched us. Left us mentally and/or physically tired. Few things can foster an appreciation for rest the way a day of challenging work can. But it is possible to ruin rest by worrying about what happened during the work day or what has to be done the next day. May we embrace rest by following the instructions in 1 Peter 5:7 and Philippians 4:6-7; let us cast every care on our Father who cares for us, pray about everything and allow His peace to guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Today’s post was written for Day 31, the final day of the 31 Days of Loving Well series. It was fitting that the final prompt is “Rest.” To read other posts in the 31 Days of Loving Well series, please click here.
