Evening and Morning
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31
Man was born on a sixth day. It was the very first sixth day, and we tell time by it as the second to last of our week, Friday. After God created man, his day was done. There was evening, and morning–the sixth day. The first thing man got to do was to sleep.
Second, after this, God had has his full ‘work week’, the full six-days. God chose to take a break, to call it the Sabbath, the seventh day. He blessed and hallowed this day, calling it holy, as a day set apart for no work, for rest for man. This was the seventh, the end of our week, Saturday. The very second thing that man, newly created, got to do, was to take a day off.
