Chris.
God gives many things to His People. This is not just to do with historical dealings with Israel – but also it is for us today. We live in a materialistic World which has been damaged severely by human greed and people’s focus is often far too narrow. Even sometimes True Believers get caught in the trap of materialism. Let us widen our thinking through God’s Word and by the Holy Spirit, then we can better appreciate the fact that God gives many things to His People.
