Numbers 29
Daily Devotional from Numbers 29--
Verses 1-2a
On the first day of the seventh month, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a day for you to blow the trumpets, and you shall offer a burnt offering, for a pleasing aroma to the Lord…
I love seeing these days of Holy gatherings. We are all accustomed to Holidays, but these were different; they were held with reverence. No one was to work, but instead it was a day for offerings; a day to please God. It’s important to have days set apart for God. This would be the time to rest, pray, and unplug from the everyday patterns. One way for us to do this is by sabbathing. Setting up one day a week where we put aside any ordinary work and we spend some time with Jesus.
This may start out small for you, maybe it’s half a day to start. But God wants our attention and our time; this would indeed be a worthy sacrifice for him. Romans 12:1 says to present our bodies as living sacrifices, Holy to God. So today let us be intentional about finding rest or planning a day to rest. Let’s have a Holy Day set apart for the Lord. Let us maintain a sweet fragrance before the Lord our God.
