Commentary from Pastor Michael White:
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord.’” – Num 15:18-19
This is God’s promise to His people: when we go where He sends us, He will bless us in that place.
God first delivered this message to Abraham:
Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great…” – Gen 12:1-2
Then He told Isaac the same thing:
Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. – Gen 26:3
Then He gave Jacob the same promise!
And behold, the Lord stood above [Jacob] and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.” – Gen 28:13
Scripture says that when we belong to Jesus, we are “…Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Gal 3:29). That means the same promise extends to us! When you go where God sends you, He will bless you in that place; and that means you have nothing to fear. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will provide for you, all of your days.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your abundant provision! Help me to trust You with all my heart. I know when I go where You have called me to go, I will be blessed beyond measure, in Jesus’ name!
