God Will Command His Blessing!
I found this amazing verse today in Leviticus 25:21. God is giving instructions to Moses regarding the year of Jubiliee every 50 years, and the year of rest for the land every 7 years.
Here’s the verse:
“And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’ I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years. 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.”
O’ may we live by faith, and live a life of radical obedience, knowing that all things are possible to him who trusts and obeys. For all things are from Him and to Him and through Him–to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Let Us Not Outrage the Spirit of Grace!
To think that God (who according to Psalm 7:11 feels indignation everyday) has provided a scapegoat for my sins, and has made a way for me to have peace with Him at the cost of His own Son–I dare not insult Him by refusing His offer of amnesty, and refusing to believe His promises!
As it is written in Hebrews 10:28-29:
Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
