God knew that we would be so filled with self importance and pride in our achievements that work and busy-ness would overshadow our need for rest. That's why the Creator of the Universe commanded a day of rest and led the way by resting after His work of creation. Yet, even in the face of God's command, how many people do you know who actually REST on the holy Sabbath day of rest? Yard work, grocery shopping, housework, cooking, cleaning, etc. are the norm on our day of rest. I'm not sure most people even know how to rest anymore!
