"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,

so that it will produce

a crop sufficient

   for three years."

       Leviticus 25. 20-21

(When we obey God,

follow, seek, listen,

and respond to the LORD,

God will provide,

whether or not

we understand

how, what, when His way

through the impossible.

God will command

     His blessing

in unexpected ways

and in unlikely places

that we cannot foresee.

How do I approach

   this difficult situation?

"Trust Me in this."

And be faithful to do what

  He places before me.)

O LORD,

Help us this week

to seek You

in whatever is before us.

Help us to not just obey,

but to love You back

and to be faithful to You

even in the ordinary

       stuff of life.

Because that is what

faithfulness does,

  loving You

  in every dimension,

     over and over again.

Help us to not just

   recognize Your blessing,

but seize opportunities

         to bless others

and to bless You.

You redeem our lives,

           even in this.

May we love others

  right into Your kingdom.
