The Shemittah Year--Every 7th year the land was to rest.  It was not to be worked nor plowed.  All the people in the land were to eat of what the earth produced by His hand.  They were not to go out and collect up food, but what the amount for a meal.  This appointed time by Yahweh was to show the people who is their provision.  This also blotted out the foreign gods from the peoples minds.  Only our Creator can and does give produce to the land and water to give the increase in the crops.  The people were in a state of rejoicing due to the blessings and favor He is pouring out on them in this season.  Fiveamprayer, we are still in the Feast of Tabernacles and 5775 began the shemittah year.  Where is your trust?  The shemittah holds us to where we are--are we relying in our own efforts?  Who is over all and controls all?  Rest in His awesome presence, provision and care! 

The people of Israel were to come before Yahweh with offerings and we do the same with thanksgiving and joy in our hearts for His provision and protection in our trust and rest in Him.  This year of allowing the land to go fallow we are allowed more time to study His word.  His provision is so awesome that the land owner, the workers, the foreigner, the widow, orphan and fatherless in the mist all eat from not their work but His provision alone!  Amen and amen!  To listen to this again click here.
