“If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, 4 then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land. 7 You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. 8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you. 9 ‘For I will look on you favourably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you. 10 You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new. 11 I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. 12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright.”
Leviticus 26:3-13 NKJV
The Lord our God,
Those who translated our Bible chose to put a heading on this chapter which reads Promise of Blessing and Retribution. I had not realised till a few years ago Lord these headings were added later to help us navigate and find passages. Well today we have the blessings, and we see again what a generous God You were.
You literally came and walked among us and adopted us and Jesus led us out of captivity to sin . Not guilty in Christ, that is an incredible miracle.
It is good as the old hymn says to count our blessings. And it would take some time to list mine and remember all the times You have provided, guided, protected, and been there in my troubles. It is overwhelming. They are Your blessings which You deliver in person. Thank you.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Overwhelmed by love
Deeper than oceans
High as the heavens
Ever living God
Your love has rescued me
All my sin was laid
On Your dear son
Your precious one
All my debt He paid
Great is Your love for me
No-one could ever earn Your love
Your grace and mercy is free
Lord these words are true
So is my love for You
Lyrics: Noel Richards
