39“‘In addition to what you vow and your freewill offerings, offer these to the Lord at your appointed festivals: your burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings and fellowship offerings.’”–Numbers 29
Chapters 28 and 29 detailed the basic interaction calendar that God expected with His people.
- DAILY (burnt offerings)
- WEEKLY (Sabbath offerings)
- MONTHLY (new moon offerings
- YEARLY (Passover, Weeks, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles)
- JUST BECAUSE (vows, free will offerings, fellowship)
Ponder your interactions with God. The best time with God involves two main things: BIBLE OPEN and JOURNEYING WITH COMMUNITY.
- DAILY (the discipline of Bible study)
- WEEKLY (gathering for worship at your church)
- MONTHLY (prayerfully analyzing your accountability issues with trusted friends. men with men and women with women)
- YEARLY (using annual holidays to consider big-picture, foundational issues. I personally use 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Ephesians 5:25.)
- JUST BECAUSE (reserving special times of commitment and prayer with God as needs arise during your year).–JMB
