Leviticus 26:4, 5 (NAS)
Then
I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce
and the trees of the field will bear their fruit. Indeed, your threshing will
last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing
time. You will thus eat your food to the full and live securely in your land.
Leviticus 26:4, 5 4 (NIVUS)
I
will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the
trees of the field their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape
harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat
all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
Adonai the
Lord has always wanted to bless and provide for His people; all that He asks is
that you trust in and cooperate with Him.
The Lord your God knows that you need rain: He, therefore, sends it at the proper time and season. He has done this continuously throughout the history of mankind. He knows better than you, when your land needs a shower or a good, drenching rain, so that it will yield the best crop possible. You can trust God to water your soil so that it will produce abundant fruit and you will see increase. Every tree in your field will bear the best and choicest fruit. If someone would judge its produce, it would receive the first place award.
Soon you will come to the threshing time, when you will bring your harvest into your storehouses. However, your yield of grain shall be so much that its harvesting will overtake the yield of your vine. You will continue gathering your grapes until it is time to sow new seed in your fields. You will continually eat from your harvest and nothing shall be wasted or destroyed. The bread that you fought for will satisfy you and you shall be full and enriched. The Lord will cause you to dwell in your land in safety and security, for He will provide for you abundantly!
