John Hagee (October-17-2023) Daily Devotion: 2 Chronicles 7:

October 17: God's Return

"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him."

Genesis 26:12

The purpose of our offering is to place our trust in God, allowing Him to place blessing upon us for that trust. God doesn’t need the gift, but we certainly need to give to Him.

A remarkable example of why we can trust God with our gifts is found in today’s verse the tells of Isaac’s successful year as a farmer. However, the preceding verses reveal why Isaac’s success was so significant.

You see, Isaac was farming in the middle of a famine. Bumper crops do not take place in a famine. No crops grow in a famine. The famine was so severe, and Isaac’s crop was so great, that he probably was the only farmer with sufficient crops to sell to others. He had a corner on the market, which allowed him to become so wealthy that the heathen envied his success. Isaac’s success was because he obeyed God.

God doesn’t need the weather to be just right to bless His people. He doesn’t need to have the stock market rising and the unemployment numbers decreasing. He is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Not only will He provide your needs, as you obey Him, He will also be able to bless you to the point where today’s heathen will have to look upon you with envy.

Any field in God’s acreage is good soil.

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. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
