DAY 25 - GOD'S REST.

SCRIPTURE: Genesis 2:2

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work."

PRINCIPLE: Rest is a divine principle in the kingdom.

In the kingdom, rest is not just a physical necessity but a spiritual discipline that reflects trust in God’s provision.

DEVOTION

After completing His work of creation, God rested on the seventh day. This act of rest wasn’t because God was tired—He is omnipotent and never grows weary. Rather, God rested as a way of establishing a pattern for humanity to follow. Rest is built into the fabric of creation, and it’s an essential part of the kingdom life.

In a world that often glorifies busyness and constant activity, the kingdom of God calls us to pause and trust in His provision. Rest is a sign of faith—when we rest, we acknowledge that we are not in control and that God is our ultimate provider. Rest reminds us that our identity and worth are not found in our work or productivity, but in our relationship with God.

Jesus Himself invites us to rest in Him, saying in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." True rest is found in Christ, where we cease from striving and learn to trust in His grace.

As you reflect on this day, ask yourself if you are practicing the principle of rest. Are you taking time to pause, reflect, and trust in God’s provision? Rest is not a sign of weakness but of faith in the One who holds all things together.

PRAYER

"Father, thank You for the gift of rest. Help me to embrace rest as a spiritual discipline, trusting that You are my provider and that I don’t have to strive for my worth. Teach me to rest in Your grace and to find my peace in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

WORD TO REMEMBER: Rest.

In the kingdom, rest is an act of trust and a reflection of God’s provision.
