שבת

(shabbat) - "to cease"

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." - Genesis 2:2

so god took the first nap ever. nice.
his day of rest is why we have church on sunday and why we celebrate that day as the sabbath. yet this never seemed to make sense to me because in my mind, god is tireless. he is all powerful and we always hear that god never grows weary. so why did he take a day to rest after creating the universe? i dont think he NEEDED to, but he CHOSE to. and it was good. i think he was showing the value and importance of relaxing, slowing down, looking back and reflecting.

today i had plans and things to do. but i scratched my cornea when i woke up and spent the day at home, sorting through old music, clothes, pictures, papers, and other stuff. it was a great time to relax and be with him. i dont think i needed a day of rest, but god chose it to be so, and it was good. thank you lord
