The creative work was done. God stopped creating.
God was also modelling to humankind the need for rest from the work cycle.
He wasn't tired.
Securely anchored to the Rock amid every storm of trial, testing or tribulation.

Your question is idiotic Jim.

You don't ask any question with an honest desire to know the answer.
This is why I rarely bother with you anymore.

This is why I rarely bother with you anymore.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

This is truly amazing! Jimmy has come up with a question that for 2,000 years no Christian theologian has discovered.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Dontchaknow that neutron stars can be used for the ultimate cosmic game of billiards? Just hope the resulting gamma ray burst isn't too close. Don't worry! He's very responsible!
Seriously, God didn't rest because He was tired. And He isn't actually playing cosmic billiards with neutron stars.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
