[Discoveries] 02-15-08 The seventh day -- Genesis 2:2-3

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*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. -- Genesis 2:2-3*/

There's something nice about closure. When the dishes are all washed and 
put away. When you climb into bed at night with a sense of satisfaction 
over a job well done. When the storm is over and the air is sweet and 
clean.

Each of us has been given an assignment of eternal significance. The 
work we do is meant to last forever. Not making widgets, or answering 
the phone, or doing power lunches. But rather the power of the presence 
of God within us. The ripples of our influence are meant to never end.

Because of Who resides within us, there is no way to measure the 
significance of our work. But, in keeping with God's design, our work 
will end someday, and we will rest just as God did.

Let me say this to encourage those of you who may feel like you are 
spinning your wheels and going no where. You are on assignment. Most of 
what you accomplish will be unseen by men, but never forgotten by God. 
Hang in there. Your work matters and it will soon be over. The day of 
rest is coming.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
