God Rested [Monday, #136]

“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” (Genesis 2:2 ESV).

God must have been exhausted after creating the universe, because he took a whole day off. I know that’s an absurd thought, but we can’t ignore the fact that God did rest. And he did it for a reason.

More on that in today's audio devotional.

KEY PASSAGE:

Psalm 42:1-2, 8 (NIV)

As the deer pants for streams of water,

so my soul pants for you, my God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

When can I go and meet with God?

By day the Lord directs his love,

at night his song is with me—

a prayer to the God of my life.
