Leviticus 23:44
Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel
the appointed feasts of the Lord.
This chapter is chock full of days off,
offerings of first fruits and festivals of feasting. God likes holidays -
literally deriving its meaning from, "holy days." On these days, you
rest. You do not do ordinary work. It is set aside to focus on our
extraordinary God. On these days you bring the first and best to the Lord your
God, who is the first and best of all things you possess. On these days you eat
and feast with friends and family with thankful hearts for the provision and
privilege to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom. These feasts were appointed.
They were mandatory. Ain't no party like a Leviticus party because a Leviticus
party is mandatory! You MUST rest. You MUST bring your first and best. And You
MUST feast and eat with eyes towards Heaven.
