What Does God’s Rest Look Like?

My youngest son and I were talking last Sunday about Sabbath Rest . We were talking about what it means for us and how we can practice it.

I wondered aloud how God rests. If He can do whatever He wants, what does He do?

While it may seem silly to wonder, we are told specifically that God rested and we are instructed to do the same.

I encourage you to take some time to play around with the idea today while you rest.

Talk with your kids – ask what they think. How does God rest? What’s He doing when He rests? Does he get silly? Does he laugh at His kids? How about sleep? Have fun with it!
