““These are the Lord’s appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting food offerings to the Lord, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day. These are in addition to the offerings for the Lord’s Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the Lord.”
Leviticus 23:37-38 CSB
I love how God wants His people to stop the daily grind and celebrate what He has done. It is definitely once a week, plus several week long celebrations to focus on Gods provision, community and food. When He talks about these times of celebration, I would think that the warnings have to be about not taking it to an extreme…but they are reminders not to do our normal daily tasks. We must exhibit self control to not work!
This seems crazy, but it is exactly the thing I am tempted to do…keep working, get ahead a bit so that the next few weeks can be a little easier… but I think God is asking that we trust Him for providing enough time to do everything that needs to be done.
Lord, help me to rest in Your provision! Thank You for giving me opportunity to rest,..help me to sacrifice those days to You!
