After the God of all things created for six days, God rested. God rested and called it holy. “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that God had done, and God rested on the seventh day from all the work that God had done” (Genesis 2:1-2). The multitude was finished, and then God rested. Yet let us not forget before God rested, God reflected on a wondrous creation. “God saw everything that God had made, and indeed, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31a). God created. God reflected. God rested.

Rest is a holy endeavor for me because it is then that I stop to recognize what I have done. I sit back and consider what I have made. We are part of God’s creation, but we are also tasked with creating now.
