It's been a while.
I lost track of how many days I haven't posted in my blog.
But this is a new year.
Everything is settling down. All things are reaching normality. It is quiet.
I feel the time is right to re-establish my ramblings.
It is time for the randomness to raise it's odd head.
It is time for men of all nations to come together and....
Oops. Sorry wrong forum.
Heh heh.
So I'll continue from where I left off.
It's a bit weird for me.
I've read all this before.
Not blogging didn't mean not reading.
Some thoughts that I've been holding for a while, have become lost.
Some just don't seem right anymore.
Some were just never meant to be.
So, if any of you are still interested, you'll have to put up with what's left.
Sorry.
Hang on. No I'm not.
So ttttthhhhhrrrreepppppppp, raspberries to you.
Leviticus 25
Looking after the land so the land can look after you, yet another common sense idea from God.
Maybe that should be look after the land AND the land will look after you.
God is just not giving the Israelites somewhere to live.
He's equipping them with ways to maintain what they've been given.
This is a long term thing.
This is a land for good.
For ever.
There's 7 year plans.
Then there's 50 year plans.
That
will
continue.
This is not a "well we'll hang here for a bit and then push off somewhere else" plan.
There is also the remembrance of the heritage of leaving Egypt.
v38 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God."
v42 "For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves."
God was re-instilling pride that had been lost through years of slavery.
Look out for each other.
Yes, there may be hard times, but look out for each other.
When things are at the worst, it is for a season.
Jubilee is coming.
Take pride.
Look after your brother.
Look after the land.
I am your God.
Don't forget.
