It's been crazy around here since Friday. I've either been driving in a car, out of town or at work. All that has definitely taken it's toll. After the field hockey game today I was a zombie and just needed a night to chill out. And it's exactly what I got.
That got me thinking about when God created the Earth and all that is in it, He made sure to set an example of resting one day. Certainly, God didn't need to take a break from all that creating. After all, He is God. Instead, he knew that man would be busy working the fields (or the office now a days) and would need one day to take a break from life to focus on Him and recharge the batteries. The Sabbath of course, was a day where literally nothing could be done. But now we know, as Paul says in Romans 14, that if one person esteems a day above the others and one does not, let each one be convinced in his own mind.
But that's not really the point of this blog. The point is that God always knows what we need. He knows when we need some time out and when we need a kick in the pants (just like He gave me last week). There are so many examples in the Bible of Him providing for his people. The Israelites receiving manna and water, Daniel escaping the lions, his buddies Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego coming out of the fire and of course, the ultimate provision, Jesus Christ dying on the cross and rising on the third day. He provides for me every day. I might not think about it, but I should. Every penny I spend, every stitch of clothing I wear and the bed I sleep in is all from God.
As David said..."Give thanks to the Lord!"
(Pslam 105).
