Rest

November 9th, 2013 · No Comments

Ezekiel 20:12 (New Living Translation)

And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the Lord, who had set them apart to be holy.

The prophet is relaying the words of the LORD. God gave his people days of rest.

Rest.

I guess children the world over don’t appreciate fatigue and rest. Those things exist with children, but they don’t seem to be important.

Adults, some of us at least, understand the value of rest. The source? God. Yes, He invented that one, too.

Just add that to the list of wonderful things the LORD God Creator gave us. One more thing to thank God for each day.

(And maybe on day I will learn how to spell Ezekial or Ezekiel.)
