RESTING IN HIM
Today's reading: Leviticus 22-24

The Scripture reading today ends with the list of festivals God appointed for the Jewish people to commemorate.

Passover, the Festival of First Fruits, the Festival of the Harvest, the Festival of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Festival of Shelters.

On these God-ordained days, He asked one common thing of His people for each day--to stop.

To stop work. To stop all extra curricular activities and worship Him.

We would never make it at Jewish people. We're too busy. Too signed up, too scheduled out, too busy, too tired from being too busy. 

Oh now, you say, if it were in our traditions to do it we could.

Really?

How are we doing on Sundays? The Lord's Day?
