We have to ask,

If not,

Why not?

Or why not

Stop on the third?Genesis 1:9-13

Or hallow the fourth?Genesis 1:14-19

Or rest and bless the fifth,

With all the beasts

And birds?Genesis 1:20-25

Why,

The ceaseless toil,

Without a pause or break?

When Jesus

Could have stopped

To celebrate,

Or commemorate,

Any day He wished?

All we need to do,

To know the reason why,

Is gaze into a mirror,

And ask our Maker why.

For it was because

Of what He did,

When everything

Was finally ready

On the sixth.

"And the LORD God

Formed man

Of the dust of the ground,

And breathed

Into his nostrils

The breath of life;

And man

Became a living soul."Genesis 2:7

And then He made

The lovely Eve.

And Adam,

Deeply loved her.Genesis 2:18-23

And they both loved

The Selfless One,

Whose hands

Refused to rest,

And whose heart

Could not be blessed,

Until all,

Their earthly needs

Were fully met.

Only then,

Did the hands of Jesus

Stop to rest.Genesis 2:1-3Isaiah 44:24

For God's rest,
