1. When we see that God promised to take care of Israel in her exile, and he will take care of us in this exile we are in, this creates REST! Jesus pays our salaries. We don’t have to fight others to take care of ourselves he is protecting, we don’t have to cheat the unsuspecting to put food on our plate. He is providing.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.

and fill our houses with plunder;
Why won’t they do it
Why won’t they do it
