Promise 7 Gen. 2:3

Gen. 2:3 - "Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." God blesses rest. It is interesting that the Bible doesn't say, "He blessed and sanctified all that He created." No, it says, that after all was done, He blessed and sanctified the 7th day, the resting day. Americans don't do well at this, actually in most of our western nations we don't do well at this. We consider it laziness if we stop and do nothing. When God blesses our rest that means He fills us up during that time so that we may be more productive and fruitful in our work. Then we may look back and see that "it was good." I don't know about you, but I'm up for looking forward to a weekly blessing from God.
