Genesis 2:2

The scriptures provide many wonderful illustrations of how we should live our lives, how we should work and, most importantly — rest. As the world collapses around us, this simple fact has never been more important. With this in mind, Genesis 2:2 gives us the lesson of how to follow in the Lord’s footsteps as we work our course and then rest to reset.

Gen 2:2 (ESV)

And on the seventh day God finished (כָּלָה - kalah) his work (מְלָאכָּה - mla'kah) that he had done (עָשָׂה - asah), and he rested (שָׁבַת - shabath) on the seventh day from all his work that he had done (עָשָׂה - asah).
