In God We Rest

For those of our readers in the United States, we are accustomed to seeing the words, “In God We Trust” on our paper currency. If we do, this is a good thing. And if we do, we follow the words He has given to us. One of those things He tells us is to observe the Sabbath once a week. He wants us to rest.

We can choose to do this or not. But we have to choose. Let’s consider for a moment what our choice should be based upon. What makes sense to me is considering God’s position. He created everything. He rested on the sixth day. He asks us to rest on the sixth day. Given how intelligent He would have to be to create this universe, doesn’t it make sense that there would be a reason He wants us to rest? If there is such a reason, does it also not make sense that there would be something more linked to resting, some positive thing, some blessing? We all want the blessings of God, right? Seems like then there is but one choice.

In God we rest…

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You as the Most High God. We thank you for all You have provided, including this day of rest. Please touch the lives of Your people today, and add Your blessing to their rest. In Jesus name. Amen.
