The lesson of creation is
“God had finished the work…
so on the seventh day God rested”.[1]
Yes, that is the story’s message
at day’s end, the work’s done…
it’s time to be finished and rest.
Resting is not apathetic –
a time of not doing –
I must prepare to be restful.
Resting is regenerative –
a time of transforming –
Simply, I embrace restfulness.
What I do can make harmony,
but work creates havoc,
at day’s end I take time to rest.
I abide with what I create,
and God says that is good…
to abide perfectly I rest.
[1] Genesis 2:2
