Read Pro. 13:23
If you have ever been to a 3rd world country you will understand this verse. There are farms everywhere and people producing crops but because of the injustice of the system, they don't enjoy the rewards of their hard work. It goes to the wealthy land owners and the people who worked the fields with their hard work, sweat and knowledge go home with meager wages. So how can this apply to us? We are not to be the poor. We are to be under the blessing of God. We are to own land and enjoy it's fruits. We are to be the head and not the tail so how do we do that? Duet 28 gives a list of the blessings that are ours IF we listen diligently to the voice of God and treasure his commands and do them. He promised that his commands would not be grievious or burdensome so that seems like an easy feat. The problem is that we get in the way and think we have a "better idea". It takes dying to ourselves and our desires and letting God resurrect his. His are always better.
Lord, teach us to walk in your commands and to hide them in our hearts that we will not sin against you. We want to possess our land and enjoy all its fruits.
