"And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done" (Gen. 2:2).
The world today is such a busy place that it can be hard to catch your breath at times. In such a fast-paced and often stressful environment, rest can be almost impossible to come by. While it's good to be busy (the Bible warns against idleness), it's good to also keep in mind that rest is a God-ordained blessing which we are to be thankful for.
In a way, rest was God's final act of creation. Rest is what keeps our bodies alive, our minds active, and our moods from becoming irritable. We should respect the gift of rest and not abuse our bodies by depriving them of a wonderful thing God has given to us!
