On this wise,
'And God did rest
The seventh day
From all his works.' "Hebrews 4:4
God's work?
Compared to our work?
And His rest?
Compared to our rest?
But how can we,
Who oft grow faint
And weary,
Ever learn to rest
Like He
Who never does?Isaiah 40:28
The answer is,
That we never can
Learn to rest like Him,
And we never will
Learn to rest like Him,
Until we learn
To labor like Him.
Like He,
Who labored to create us.Psalm 95:1-6
For in the dawn
Of our beginning,
The very genesis,
Of life on Earth
And Adam's lineage,
Did the Word of God
Who made the World say,John 1:1-14
"Let there be light,"
And then He stopped
To rest,
And blessed
The very first day?Genesis 1:1-5
No,
He didn't.
But if not,
Why not?
Or did our Lord
And Maker,
Mankind's Savior
And Creator say,Isaiah 45:9-12Isaiah 54:5
"Let there be air,"
And then He stopped
To rest,
And blessed
The second day?Genesis 1:6-8
No,
He didn't.
But once again
