Revival and Rest
Genesis 2:2-3
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
I too am going to rest today, not because of the work of creation that I’ve done this past week (although there was some of that), but because I need to be spiritually uplifted through worship with others. I also need to be revived and recharged for this coming week. And I need to focus today not on what I’m doing but why I’m doing things and who I’m doing things with.
God gave us the master plan – work hard for 6 days and then rest on the 7th. He also made that 7th day holy and thus gave us a specific day that should be set aside for holy use. In obedience and observance of that day, our spiritual reservoirs can be filled and revival can be found.
So today is a day of revival and rest. I wish each of you the same!
