July 11: Seed Living

"I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread."

Psalm 37:25

King David declared that he never saw the righteous forsaken. If you are born again, you are the righteous seed of God. You cannot earn the righteousness of God. It is a gift. Your righteousness makes you a child of God and a child of Abraham.

Abraham is the father of faith. He tithed to Melchizedek from the booty of war. Melchizedek was what is called a Christophany -- a manifestation of the pre-incarnate Christ. It was Jesus who appeared in human form, as the King of Salem, the King of Peace. Abraham did not tithe because the law commanded him to do it. The law did not exist yet. Abraham did it out of obligation because he recognized that he was in the presence of a king, and he wanted to remain in peace with the King of Salem which later became known as Jerusalem.

When you tithe, you are saying, “I want to remain in covenant with the King of Jerusalem”. Ten percent of what I gain in the battle of life, I give to God because of who He is. Because you are in covenant with God, what He has is yours, and what you have is His. That means regardless of the trials and tribulations we all face in life, God possesses the cattle on a thousand hillsides and He will see you through it all. God is more than enough!

God will pour out His blessing on His seed.

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me.

You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
