Recharge

As someone who likes to grow things, I’d say there was definitely faith involved in obedience to this command.  And yet letting land lie fallow can be extremely  beneficial to let the land “recharge”. The Creator knows how to care for the creation!

Leviticus 25:20-22 ESV
[20] And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’ [21] I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years. [22] When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of the old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.
