So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Genesis 2:3 ESV

Keeping up with my grandmother’s brisk pace was indeed a challenging task, because whenever I would lag behind, she would exclaim, “At this rate we won’t get there in a month of Sundays!” Yet, if you think keeping up with my Grandmother was hard, think about trying to keep up with the Almighty! Consider that, in just the first two days of creation, God made light, planets, galaxies, oceans, and continents, and then He was just getting started!

Over the next three days, projects seemed to fly off of God’s workbench at an increasing pace and in ever greater detail. Then, on day six, God paused, stooped down, scooped up some clay, and began to form man with His own hands. This creation was not only more complex than anything He had done before, but it was also the only one that was a reflection of His own image. Finally, God bent down and breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life, and He named Him Adam. But, as God watched Adam, for the first time He noticed something that wasn’t good. Adam was alone. So, God caused Adam to sleep, and while he rested, God took one of his ribs and created Eve to be his companion. Then, in the crowning moment, after six fast and furious days, God came to rest so that His children could walk with Him. In spite of how He had rushed through creating the Heavens and the Earth, walking slowly with His children was no problem for God. In fact, God loved that seventh day so much that the Bible tells us that God gave it a special blessing and called it Holy! If it delighted God so much to slow His pace to walk with us, why are we always in such a hurry? Maybe, if instead of always anxiously rushing ahead to our next project, we slowed our pace to the “Month of Sundays” speed, we just might find out what delights God the most and be better prepared for whatever lies ahead!

Not a Very Good Waiter (Verse two)
By a well He waited at noonday
For the woman who thirsted for more
And He calls us to come when we’re weary and worn
For refreshing that He has in store
