Scripture:
“I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year so that it may yield the produce for three years,” Leviticus 25:21 NET
Observation:
In this passage, God told the Israelites to let their farmland have a Sabbath every seven years. They were told to let their land rest for one entire year. The problem is, in year seven, there is no crops to harvest and in the eighth year, you have to wait until the harvest. The land would actually go almost two years before there was another harvest. Knowing that, God told them He would provide enough in year six to last three years. What an awesome God!
Application:
If God can make land produce three years worth of vegetation in one year, He can provide whatever we need in order to obey Him. We need to see God as the all-sufficient one who supplies all our needs. I also see in this verse that if God asks you to do something, He will pay for it. God provides miraculously for those who follow Him closely and obediently.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your provision in my life. I ask You to provide miraculously for the church I pastor and for my family. As I diligently follow You and obey Your word and will for my life, please take care of those around me and provide for every need. Provide land and buildings for our church in one of the most expensive regions of our country. Provide the resources to build something that will be a blessing to Your and Your kingdom for many years to come.
Your Son,
Jeff
