24But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away, 25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. 26Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household. 27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Common-Sense God
“If distance prevented the easy transport of the animals, they could exchange their tithe for money, and then use the money to tithe with when they came to the tabernacle (and later, the temple).” (Guzik)
The Lord your God is the common-sense God and we see it here in these verses.
If the distance was great, He suggests an easy common-sense solution! Sell the tithe and bring the money and spend the money on anything you desire!
Feast in the presence of the Lord.
I can’t wait until we have the great feast in heaven!
Matthew 8:11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. NLT
Can you?
Blessings
