Real Talk
The Lord said to the Israelites in Deuteronomy 11:13-15, “and it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give you the rain of your land in due season …. that though mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
If we (a choice given), hearken diligently to God’s commandments (obey), He will give to us all we desire. Real talk! God is our ultimate provider, He will provide all that we need to survive. The song writer puts it this way, “trust and obey there is no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.
For us in the New Testament era, this rain signifies the Holy Spirit, “howbeit when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth,” John 16:13. The Holy Spirit will enable us to possess all the necessities for living. These benefits can only be attainable through faith which the Holy Spirit produces. Our obedience through faith in God and His commands, will allow us to gather corn, wine, oil and will supply grass for the fields and cattle, signifying all we need in this life today.
In verses 16-17 of Deuteronomy 11, God gave them the precursor, “take head to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods; …. and He shut up heaven that there be no rain, ….” This message from God came through a dear sister, GET RID OF ALL YOUR IDOLS! God wants to bless us today so we may eat and be full but we need to get rid of every hindrance.
God Bless.
