Ezekiel 36:8

The land of Israel was nothing more than a malaria filled swampland. It suffered years of destruction and desolation. Yet God promised to bring His people back home. And in 1900, He did just that. Now today there are over 5 million, and growing, Jews living in their homeland. A homeland that is longer uninhabitable. Instead, God has made it beautiful and bountiful again. Once more a land of milk and honey, God kept His promise to His people. Because God keep His promises to all of His people, including us. So when He pledges a great transformation in our lives when we receive Jesus as our Savior, He means it! Once we too were as desolate as Israel. Full of dead bones and withered branches that produced no fruit. But just like He did with the promised land, God will do for us. No matter how useless, barren, or broken we feel, if we let Him, the Lord can and will turn us into lush, bountiful, abundant fruit trees who produce a surplus of good fruit for His kingdom.

September 5th – 85:12

Psalm 85:12

Israel was in turmoil. They had experienced invasion, exile, and internal division. The land was barren and the people suffering. All because they had turned their back on God. Yet the sons of Korah knew God had rescued Israel before, and so they pleaded to Him for restoration and revival once more. The current stage of our country is much like ancient Israel. We too have turned away from God. And now we are reaping the the consequences of that disastrous decision. And like the sons of Korah, we need to get our knees and cry out to God. For without His hand of blessing our upon our country, it is doomed. We His people, need to repent and return to our Father in heaven. And pray that in His great righteousness, God will not withhold what it is good. That He will instead revive our country and send all we need to be a fruitful, obedient land dedicated to producing a bountiful harvest for the Lord.
