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
