Deuteronomy 11:29-32 Fruitfulness, Barrenness and Strength!

 29When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. 30Are not these mountains across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh?

31For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and settle in it, 32be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.

“The name Gerizim is supposed to be associated with fruitful harvests, and the name Ebal is supposed to be associated with barrenness.” (Guzik)

Let’s face it, life is hard. It’s full of struggles and there are days of fruitfulness and days of barrenness. The question is, do you cling to the Lord to get you through the day? Non believers don’t have that luxury, they don’t derive their strength from God. 

The secret of life with its ups and downs, it’s fruitfulness and barrenness is clinging to the Lord and His promises! Because we have the joy of the Lord and we know where we’re going! When we leave this world we’re going home!

Are you clinging to Him?
