Searching While We Rest
We are most blessed among all the people on the earth to have the opportunity to rest each week. Here, on the Sabbath, we have the time to recline and consider Yahuah (Lord), Creator of heaven and earth. He has given unto us specific times and seasons to mark His will and His ways. It is His Sabbaths and the appointed Feasts that are the good news, for as long as we keep them we declare our Messiah and Yahuah drives evil from our midst.
Nahum 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
We are also to let the land rest every seventh year, a Sabbath of years to Yahuah. This is His command.
Leviticus 25:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
When we do these things in obedience to Yahuah (lord), He is our Defender and our Strong Tower.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You the Most High. You are our King. We praise and thank You. We praise and thank the name Yahuah (Lord). Let Your kingdom reign here. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sin. Help us to build a hedge against evil around our hearts and minds. Heal us. Deliver us from those that would steal from us what You have provided. Crush them and take from them what they have and give it to Your people. Come with a strong hand and outstretched arm. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
