Please read Leviticus 25.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 21.
I will so order My blessing for you…
The LORD knows the importance of rest. He created the heavens, earth, seas, and everything they contain in six days. On the seventh day He rested, making it a sabbath day (Exodus 20:11). God also made sabbath years. He commanded that after producing crops for six years, the land have a year of rest (vs. 1-7). The LORD instituted the jubilee year. After seven sabbaths of years passed, that is 49 years, the fiftieth year was declared as a year of jubilee (v. 8). During the year of jubilee, land was returned to its original owner and slaves redeemed and set free.
As a Christian, you are always living in the year of jubilee. You were a slave to sin, and Christ redeemed you and set you free to live in Him.
In Him (Jesus), we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,
according to the riches of His grace
which He lavished on us.
—Ephesians 1:7-8a
Does your life reflect the LORD’s jubilee? Live for others to want Christ’s redemption of their lives, so they can enter their year of jubilee.
Pray Leviticus 25:21, 48, and 55 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, so order Your blessing for _______ and me.
You redeemed us; thank You! Please redeem _________.
We are Your servants, whom You
brought out from the land of sin.
You are the LORD our God, Jesus~”
