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.”
