Genesis 2:3

Genesis 2:3

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

God set this day apart as holy — different from all other days. Rest is not laziness; it is worship and trust in God.

Memory phrase: God made the seventh day holy.

Talk about it: What makes a day 'holy' or special?

Prayer: God, thank You for giving us a day to rest and be with You.
