Title: work and rest
Contents:
God's work is the work of creation, and God's rest is holiness and joy. As important as work is, rest is just as important. Rest without work, or for those who do not know the principle of work, neither work nor rest is wrong.
The work of one God is creation and providence. Who dares to comprehend and comprehend all of God's work of creation? In God's creation and providence there is infinite wisdom and faithfulness of omniscience and omnipotence. Work must be creative. God said that creation was very good in God's sight, so everything we do must be good in God's sight. Also, being creative means that it must conform to the principles of God's creation. Work must be to the glory of God. It is God who made it. Therefore, the motive and result of all work must be the glory of God. He said that everything that God did was good in God's sight. What is the work that pleases God? There must be blessings. Prosperity is the promise of God's blessings. There is a reward in all things. The greatest reward is rest.
Sabbath After the amazing and omnipotent creation, the rest is truly a holy rest and a rest of festivals. When he looked back on his work, he said that it was good in God's sight. The meaning of rest is one with work. Sabbath is one with work. It is a reward and the Sabbath is ordained of God. Well done, good and faithful servant, share in the joy of your master. Those who work have the blessing and the right to rest well. There must be holy joy in the Sabbath. For the creation is holy and great. Because Christians should live holy lives. What is the holy Sabbath that is pleasing to God? The first is to celebrate the Sabbath. The second is to keep it holy. The third is to do the things that are to be done on the Sabbath. There must be a blessing from God. There were many times when we defiled our holy rest with a rest where we could not expect God's blessing. I hope that you will become a saint who works while learning the work and rest of the Creator God, and a saint who enjoys true rest.
