Meditate On
Then I will command My blessing on you in
the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years.
Leviticus 25:21
Blessed
At God’s Command!
Let me show you something about God’s
principle of rest today.
God told the Israelites to sow and reap
their land for six years, but on the seventh year, they were to rest their land
(Leviticus 25:1–5). You might ask, “What were the Israelites supposed to eat in
the seventh year if they couldn’t do any sowing or reaping in that year?”
Well, God said, “…I will command My
blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for
three years.” In other words, God would so bless their sowing in the sixth year
that what they reaped would be enough to last them for three years! Isn’t God
so practical?
My friend, when you observe God’s principle
of rest, your needs will be more than met. When you cease striving and
worrying, and simply rest in God’s goodness and promises made sure by the
finished work of His Son, He will command His blessings on you. You don’t have
to worry about losing out to your colleagues or competitors who depend on
manipulation and their machinations to get what they want. You will have more
than enough when you do it God’s way because He will command His blessings upon
you!
BLESSINGS
JOSEPH PRINCE
