“But in the seventh year is to be a Shabbat of complete rest for the land, a Shabbat for Adonai; you will neither sow your field nor prune your grapevine.”

“Show me favor, God, show me favor; for in You I have taken refuge. Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of Your wings until the storms have passed.”

The idea here of taking rest and refuge in the LORD until the storms have passed is the fact that the storms will never pass on this earth! We will always have storms, but we will always have rest and refuge in the LORD!

“Keep My Shabbats, and revere My sanctuary; I am Adonai.”

“What is revealed is God’s anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them.”
Romans 1:18-19 CJB

I believe people know the truth and they know right from wrong, but what they do is suppress it or even try to deny the truth! God makes it very clear He hates sin! Just read His word!

“But he shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm.”

Even when we get bit by the poisons of the world, we need to shake it off and move on, knowing it really doesn’t harm us!

“Give thanks to Adonai; for He is good, for His grace continues forever.”

Today, let’s not get caught up in the world and its negative poison! Instead let’s get caught up in the LORD and His glorious salvation!
Have a blessed day in Him!
