Why is it so hard to rest?
We constantly feel the pressure in our culture to keep ploughing forward, yet God ordained periods of rest for us and land. And, He gave us instruction on how to structure our lives so we can take advantage of it. We have largely ignored this 3000-year-old advice. It seems so archaic and impossible in today's society. But what if it is even more relevant now?
In this short read, you’ll discover the personal and modern applications of five key biblical principles regarding the Shemitah, or year of release. The reflection questions in each principle help you develop your customized plan to finally let go and have a relaxed and reflective Shemitah year!
In Shemitah for Christians, you’ll learn:
•Why preparation is crucial to rest, and how to prepare
•How following the Shemitah can restore land and the environment
•How God’s Sabbath year advice can sustain you during an economic downturn
•And how you can take your own restful Shemitah year
Get ready to incorporate God’s wisdom involving the Shemitah with grace to do it imperfectly rather than legalistic requirements!
