Recently in devotions I came across some verses that stood out to me. I could not get them out of my mind for days. It had to do with the sabbatical rest of the land.

Out of the whole context of the portion of these verses were these words regarding the land, "thou shalt let it rest and lie still." Exodus 23:10-11.

There is a sabbath of rest God wants for His people and animals. The one for the land spoke so much deeper than ever before. It is one thing for man and animal to rest for one day.

But God did not want the land to only have one day. He wanted it to have an entire year and there was a good reason why.

The seventh year the seeds were sown in more abundance knowing that for an entire year it was not to be touched. It was during that time, the land brought forth three times more than during the seven years. See Leviticus chp. 25 for more details.

The poor of the land were then allowed to casually walk through and take as much as they wanted. The animals were not driven like out like ususal, but were allowed to partake in what the poor left behind.

There was rest for the weary creation. There was no limit of mercy.

There must come a time in our lives that we let our land "rest and lie still," and do nothing, that we become refreshed. That in so doing, we will yield more to others in refreshed abundance in stead of working in the brick yards of Pharaoh's "iron smelting furnace," for a handful of barely."

"Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less."

- Charles Spurgeon
