While doing Bible time with Garrett yesterday morning, I learned something really cool (at least to me)! We read the Creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:3). The Bible says that God ENDED the work which He had done AND He RESTED.... Normally I would think of the word REST to indicate that someone was taking a break from something. But God ENDED His work (Creation was complete...it was finished) So why would He need to REST (since He obviously does not get tired and since the work was done there was no need for a break)??
It is when I looked up the word RESTED in Strong's that I had my AHA moment!! The word for RESTED means CELEBRATED!!!
I don't know about you, but I picture God being so proud of what He had created (He called it good) that He did a little Happy Dance...or maybe a BIG HAPPY DANCE, after all He is a BIG GOD!!
