“You Gave…”

“You Gave…”

Blessings folk!

Fear not!
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness!

The people continue to recount in prayer before the Lord the good things that He had done for them and their forefathers,

Read closely…

Neh 9:22-25

“You also gave them kingdoms and peoples,
And allotted them to them as a boundary.
They took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon
And the land of Og the king of Bashan.

“You made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven,
And You brought them into the land
Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

“So their sons entered and possessed the land.
And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,
And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land,
To do with them as they desired.

“They captured fortified cities and a fertile land.
They took possession of houses full of every good thing,
Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves,
Fruit trees in abundance.
So they ate, were filled and grew fat,
And reveled in Your great goodness.

Look at what God gave them!

He gave:

  • Kingdoms and peoples
  • Lands of Sihon and Og
  • Sons as numerous as the stars of heaven
  • The Land promised

Look at what the Lord did!
  • He subdued the Canaanites
  • Captured cites and fertile land

Note that they captured intact things
  • Houses full of every good thing
  • Hewn cisterns
  • Vineyards
  • Olive grove
  • Fruit trees…in abundance

Complete, total infrastructure and provision.
Instantly.

The people ate.
The people were filled.
The people grew fat.
The people reveled in the the great goodness of God.

The people now acknowledged all this,

We are in a similar situation.

Will we press on in the the Lord?
Or, will we “but…”?
