“For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be cultivated and sown,” (Ezekiel 36.9 NASU).
In truth, God has been ‘for me’ for a long time. He has ‘turned to me’ many, many times in the past. I have been “cultivated and sown” by the Lord for years. I am blessed for a reason. It isn’t magic nor is it fate; it’s not an accident. I have a reason to be grateful and to express my thanksgiving. There is Divine intentionality behind the events I benefit from. I am blessed because God makes and keeps His promises. Jesus has “cultivated and sown” my family, my home, my finances, my career, and my ministry. All that is good is good for a reason. God did that. The magic wind of fate did not happen to blow in my favor. I didn’t get lucky. The Lord planned it and made it happen.
I must never allow the fact of God’s providential care escape my notice.
