A
Walk in the Word
Genesis - Chapter 2
God created
everything, fed everything and then when His accomplishments were completed He
rested. Notice He did not rest each night as we do but waited until the world
we live in was complete. Remember as you study this chapter that God looked at
what He created and remarked on its goodness then went on to the next thing. It
does not say He actually rested until the second verse in the second chapter.
