The Fourth Commandment Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it . Six days you shall work and accomplish all your work; the seventh day is Sabbath to the Lord, your God; you shall not do any work--you, your son, your daughter, your slave, your maidservant, your animal, and your convert within your gates--for in six day the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.
364. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on your New Moons --Numbers 28:11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;
365. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on Shavuot --Numbers 28:26-27 26
Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering
unto the Lord, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy
convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 27 But ye shall offer the
burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord; two young bullocks, one
ram, seven lambs of the first year
366. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on Yom Teruah --Numbers 29:1-2 1
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have
an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing
the trumpets unto you. 2 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a
sweet savour unto the Lord; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs
of the first year without blemish:367. You shall sound and hear the shofar on Yom Teruah --Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
368. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offering on Yom Kippur --Numbers 29:7-8 7 And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:8 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
369. You shall offer the prescribed Elevation-Offerings on each day of Sukkot --Numbers 29:13 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:

371. You shall not demand payment debts remitted in the 7th year --Deuteronomy 15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.
372. You shall remit the debts of your brother in the 7th year --Deuteronomy 15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
The teaching for day 28 is the discouraging tongue--yet we find that most people's comments are likened to just that--discouragement. Yahweh comes this morning to tell us to be encouraged! That our words would lift up others and that we too would encourage ourselves as even David did in the Bible. Remember all the good, great and awesome things that you have witnessed at the hands of Adonai. Recall the seemingly terrible things that you 'thought' would happen and were turned for your good. Rely in He who set all things into motion and know that He is in control of all things. No longer esteem the words of the doubters and poor comforters over the words that fail not! We have to give more weight to the word of Yahweh, than the words of family or friends. What did the Almighty God say about it? That is the only word that counts and the only word with the authority to deliver on every part of it's decree! Fiveamprayer, don't allow your eyes to overcome all that you know to be true. He is our keeper and the lover of our souls! All that He has spoken will be delivered unto us, in His timing.
This discouraging tongue is very dangerous. We see in the book of Numbers 13 and 14 where the 12 spies go to look at the land to return a good report. Of the 12 only 2 brought back the good report. The determintion of the children of Israel, to remain in the wilderness for 40 years was due to the bad report of 10. The entire congregation was to remain in the wilderness one year for each of the days the spies spent in the promised land gathering information for a good report. Those who gave the bad report were not included in the 40 year wanderings--no they lost their lives. We have to be aware of what words we are sowing into others lives! Fiveamprayer take a look look at your conversation before speaking and find if you will be an encouragement to the listener? Would your words bring peace to the situation? Can the listener obtain a benefit from what you are sharing? Do your words align with what Yahweh has already spoken? To hear more on this click here.
