One of the greatest wonders of "the Big God Story" is that it never gets old. There's never a time when it runs dry or wears out. This makes next month even more exciting as we start all over again....in the beginning! But for now, we will celebrate the journey we've been on.
This week we are highlighting the festival of Jubilee. The Year of Jubilee was a festival that occurred every 50 years, after seven Sabbatical years. It was a consecrated year set aside to proclaim liberty and restoration for all of the inhabitants of the land. Debts were forgiven, and those who had sold themselves to settle a debt were set free. God reminds His people that He is their Provider, and in fact holds the deeds to all of their possessions. Therefore, He commands His people to provide for the redemption of land and housing that was lost due to poverty or other circumstances such as these.
As you go through this week look for ways to show your child that God is your Provider. Use HomeFront weekly to generate some great ideas.
Have a wonderful week leading your children!
