The Spirit-Life Coach
Premised on the principles of faith and Divine provisions as seen in the Sabbath Days we intend to launch into the deep as it relates to our rest in the God who is more than enough for our needs. We look into His heart full of love for us and into His hands full of works done to meet our needs. For He said “touch my hands and see the holes in there”. The holes came because He would provide for us…because of this we can look to Him and say…’give us this day, our daily bread’…and then go rest…knowing that those hands have gone to work…on our behalf.
'GIVE US THIS DAY,OUR DAILY BREAD..'!..9
Looking at the laws of the Sabbath we see that the Lord commanded Israel to rest on the Seventh Day of the week. Six days the Lord says you shall work and on the Seventh Day you shall rest. No manner of work shall be done on the Seventh Day.
There were other Sabbath periods also in Israel when the children of Israel were not supposed to do any manner of work such as the Day of Jubilee. The Lord commanded Israel to count forty-nine years from the year of their entrance into the land, the fiftieth year is the year of Jubilee. On that year the people must not do any manner of work.
Lev 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Lev 25:11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
Now, on the Sabbath Day and in the year of Jubilee the Lord commanded them not to plant nor to reap. In other words, “don’t do your regular business”! In fact at Jubilee, the harvest of the forty-ninth year was enough for them on the fiftieth year when they didn’t plant and on the fifty-first year when they were supposed to be reaping or harvesting that which they planted on the fiftieth.
Lev 25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
Lev 25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
Lev 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store
The sense I am trying to get to you is that the Lord is able to provide way ahead of time for our needs that spans beyond the daily need. This helps us to put confidence in God as our able provider. Whether the need is daily or a need for project the Lord is always able to meet them.
WE END THE TEACHING HERE.
