Psalm 104:19-26 “He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens. Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches. There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.”

God can make this world work and fit together because of His great wisdom.

Romans 8:33-36 “Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past tracing out! ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?’ ‘Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?’ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.”

And God, in His wisdom, has enabled man to work: “Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.” We should rejoice that we have the opportunity to work! It is a command and a blessing, because when we work we are emulating and following God. But God also rested, and God shows that we too have the blessing of rest by establishing the Sabbath for the Israelites.

Exodus 20:8-10 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it.”
