"There came a man who was sent from God: his name was john. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so thaty through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light." --John 1:6-8

I was pretty shocked myself.
Have a great day!
It's true that in a world which doesn't stop running, we too get in a spin cycle of busyness. We forget the little details of the true meaning of rest. Let's be honest… we fill our schedule full, even our weekend to the point where we forget about our self; our own time of rest. Sure God was busy creating the world from the beginning to the end of every detail, but even God took the time to see the work he has done. Have you stopped and notice the work?
"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 NIV). Are you resting from the work you have done this week? Don't let a moment of rest make you feel guilty, we need to rest our body as well as our spirit.
Because when we push our self to the limit, Satan comes and uses that as advantage to mess up our life. Don't give Satan that chance… take a moment to stop and rest!
Last, finding rest is a commandment that God has given us "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy" that clearly defines us to "not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter…" (Exodus 20:8, 10 NIV). So let us come to the father in body, spirit and heart and rest!
