Moses 3:2-3 What does it mean that God “Rested”?

“Sometimes we have thought of rest as being a place where we get on the reclining chair, or in our sneakers, or we get outside and lie on the grass, something where we are at rest. That isn’t the kind of rest that the Lord is speaking about. Heavenly Father rested—rested from His labors, but not put away from his work” (President Kimball, “The Privilege of Holding the Priesthood,” Ensign, Nov. 1975, 80).
