works.’” The Holy Spirit says that after six days of creation
God rested. I know what that does not mean. It doesn’t mean
that God quit working and now He works no more. John 5:17,
“But He answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and
I Myself am working.’” It doesn’t mean that God was
exhausted and weary after He finished. Isaiah 40:28, “Do you
not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the
Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become
weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.” God does
not become weary.
It certainly doesn’t mean, when it says that God rested, that God
was frustrated or anxious. Habbakuk 3:3&4, “God comes from
Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran, His splendor
covers the heavens, and the earth is full of His praise. His
radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His
hand, and there is the hiding of His power.” We look at creation
and we say, “Look at the power of God.” The prophet looked
at creation and said, “That is the hiding of His power.” That’s
just a little picture of the power of God. Every six days God
could have created another universe as big as this and never
duplicated any shape, law, size or color. That’s our God! How
great is our God!
Genesis 1:4, “And God saw that the light was good; and God
separated the light from the darkness.” Genesis 1:10, “And God
called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He
called seas; and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:12, “And
the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after
their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their
kind; and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:18, “…and to
govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the
darkness; and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:21, “And
God created the great sea monster, and every living creature that
moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and
every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.”
