Gracious God, today we thank you for resting. What you did on the seventh day teaches and inspires us. It helps us to realize just how important rest must be. As we continue to learn about the gift of sabbath, may our minds be open to learn and our hearts ready to act. Teach us to rest, Lord. Amen.
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. [Exodus 20:11]
