—Leviticus 25:1-12

The Sabbatical Year had been designed by God for His people on Mt. Sinai. Just as God had designed the weekly Sabbath as a day of rest and renewal for His people after six days of work, the land would also be renewed after six years and all that the land had produced during the previous six years would be available for everyone. The Year of Jubilee, on the other hand, signified a restart or reboot for those in a financial prison. To keep these festivals would require a tremendous amount of trust in God’s provision. Do you trust God enough to continue to provide for you if you focus on caring for others in need?
