Proverbs 14:34
34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The idea of resting and the number seven are intimately connected in the Bible.
In Genesis 1 , the word or number “seven” has two key symbolic meanings: seven represents a full and complete world, and getting to seven is a linear journey from one to seven.
The rhythm of practicing sabbath or resting every seventh day is one way that humans can imitate God and act like they are participating in the new creation.
There are only seven days before election 2024. God’s creation was performed in 6 days and on the seventh day He rested. Although seven means to rest, it is not the time to rest, it is not over yet. To get to seven, you have to start with one, which is coming. Although most have already made up their mind as to who they will vote for, hopefully you are resting on the fact that your selection is based on biblical principals and we can rest on that assurance. Pastor James of Real Church Pickerington, OH delivered a sermon a few week ago about Getting Rest, mentioning there is a proper time to rest. Rest can also be in our mind that we are doing and making decisions that are pleasing to His word.
