Scripture Reference
Genesis 2:1-3 (NIV)
"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done."
Memory Verse
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Activity
My husband decided to lead today's devotion. He was off work today, but usually he isn't home at the same times as Kiera. I'm usually the one that leads the devotions. Since today's scripture is on God resting, we are taking the night off from doing an activity and just focusing on the commandment that we rest on Sundays.
How It Went
Kiera was excited that we were, in a sense, "acting out" what God did by resting on the 7th day. She enjoys devotion time, but I think she innitially thought she was getting away with something by resting from an activity today. It took a little explaining to get her to realize that God intended us to rest, and actually commands it in the 10 Commandments. She giggled when she realized that our Sunday pizza lunch (which she enjoys so much) is actually one way that I rest on the Sabbath!
