God Finished The
Work
He Had Been Doing
So the heavens and
the earth and everything in them were completed.
By the seventh day
God had finished the work he had been doing. So on the seventh day he rested
from all of his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. He rested
on it. After he had created everything, he rested from all of the work he had
done.
Here
is the story of the heavens and the earth when they were created.
The Lord God made the
earth and the heavens. At that time, bushes had not appeared on the earth.
Plants had not come up in the fields. The Lord God had not sent rain on the
earth. And there wasn't any man to work the ground. But streams came up from
the earth. They watered the whole surface of the ground.
Then the Lord God formed
a man. He made him out of the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of
life into him. And the man became a living person.
Genesis
2:1-7
Storms, floods,
snows, ice all show us the power of God. We take so many things for granted
like electricity, water, and heat. The reality is that God provided all of
those things to our ancestors long before we had running water, heat, and
electricity. With or without those things, our Lord loves us. He made it all
happen. He worked and rested. We too should work, and rest.
God has a plan for
our lives. Without the plan we can feel unproductive, unimportant and useless.
He has a plan. Wait, watch and listen for it to happen in your live.
Take the time to rest
and think about what you have been given, and what is expected of you.
If we do
not come apart and rest awhile, we may just plain come apart.
