"Thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:1-
Was God just plum tuckered out, physically tired, mentally worn out at the end of the creation week? In Exodus 31:17 it states, “On the seventh day He ceased from labor and was refreshed.” The term “from labor” is not in the Hebrew but was added by the translator. So this should read, “He ceased and was refreshed”. In Psalms 121:4 it states, “He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep,” showing us that God does not get physically tired or mentally wore out at the end of a day as we do.
No, what this does show is that God took enjoyment in His finished creation. Just like a carpenter who once had a plan in his head now can stand back and look at the finished creation of a beautiful home and say this is very good.What could be more refreshing and restful than God to be in fellowship with his creation?
I know personally there are times I will sit in a tree stand and watch nature and have communion with my heavenly Father and will have the same refreshing and rest that comes from a personal relationship with Him. God wants all of us to come into this eternal rest with Him and enjoy the rich bounty of His love.
