Genesis 2:2–3 – On the seventh day God had finished His work of creation, so He rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when He rested from all His work of creation.

“The Hebrew word Shabbat means “to stop,” but it can also be translated “to delight,” It has the dual idea of stopping and also of enjoying God and our lives in this world. The Sabbath is an entire day set aside to follow God's example to stop and to delight: To delight in the world… to delight in our lives in it and above all, to delight in God himself” (Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, by John Mark Comer, p. 155).
