We have food and worship here. There was to be nourishment for ourselves and worship to God.
But there was a famine
It is interesting that within Palestine there were no rivers to rely on for the watering of crops etc. They had to rely on rain. If God stopped the rain there would be famine causing shortage and suffering.
How are we spiritually?
The vigilance of God
Lev 26 – there is 2 pathways outlined – obedience or disobedience
V1 – refraining from idolatry
V2 – regarding the Sabbath
V2 – revering His sanctuary
V3 – respecting God’s law
These were the commands of God to His people. If they did these they would receive a 6 fold blessing. Note the words “I Will”.
V4 – A Plentiful Rainfall
V6 – A Peaceful Rest
V6 – A Powerful Victory
V9 – A prosperous Supply
V11 – A Place of Worship
V12 – A Pleasant Communication
But God was vigilant; He saw their disobedience and tried a chastening method to bring them to Himself
