Genesis 2:2

Genesis 2:2

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

God set a pattern of rest — work and then rest — for all people to follow. Even the Creator of the universe paused to rest.

Memory phrase: God rested on the seventh day.

Talk about it: Why do you think God rested even though He never gets tired?

Prayer: God, help me follow Your example and rest in You.
