Remade News
April 2018
Hi Friend,
In biblical times during the 7th year, known as the Sabbath year, the Israelites let the ground lay fallow. It means they would not plant anything new on it, but allow the field to rest so that the fertility of the soil would be restored.
As I researched this, it resonated in my spirit. I could feel it confirming a word I got from the Lord at the end of the year. I knew He was calling me to a season of rest. A time to allow Him to replenish and restore.
How hard is that for you, friend? To let go and rest. It feels counter-intuitive doesn’t it? If I’m honest, at times I feel restless, not rested.
Slowing down isn’t popular and I had a lot of excuses (and fears) why this was a bad idea. But, what I learned in my research is that their success came through rest. The rested land now had fertile soil and produced an incredible crop the following year. I believe if God is calling us to a season of rest our obedience will yield the same blessings as the Israelites.
Your friend in faith,
