October 10 – Exodus 23:10-19
These scriptures remind us to keep the Sabbath holy and a day of
rest. God also reminds us that everyone
needs the rest, our workers and our animals.
Instructions are shared about Feasts and when and how they should be
observed. God didn’t leave anything to
chance with the Israelites. He gave them
specific instructions and they still couldn’t get it right.
I wish I could say we do better, but we are the same. God gives us specific instructions on what we
need to do to enjoy the wonderful salvation of Jesus, and we still can’t get it
right.
Why do you think we are unwilling or unable to follow the
instructions we are given by God on how to please Him?
Do you observe the Sabbath as a day of rest? If so, how?
I can understand how the observations, feast, sacrifices, and
offerings were difficult to keep up with, but the mentioning of first fruits
resonates with me. How are you offering
your first fruits to God? What actions
can you begin now to offer your first fruits to our loving God? What do you believe is meant by “first fruits”? Does it mean the first we plant? The first we harvest? Or maybe it is the best,
as in “first place”? Ask God what you
are to consider your “first fruits”.
How can we encourage others to offer their first fruits? How can we teach our children to do so?
