    Ancient Israel an Example of God’s Care, November 29

    Prosperity Promised

    I will also save you from all your uncleanlinesses; and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Ezekiel 36:29, 30.WGD 335.1

    The principles set forth ... for the instruction of Israel, are to be followed by God’s people to the end of time. True prosperity is dependent on the continuance of our covenant relationship with God. Never can we afford to compromise principle by entering into alliance with those who do not fear Him. There is constant danger that professing Christians will come to think that in order to have influence with worldlings, they must to a certain extent conform to the world. But though such a course may appear to afford great advantages, it always ends in spiritual loss.—Prophets and Kings, 570.WGD 335.2

    The Lord made a covenant with Israel, that if they would obey His commandments, He would give them rain in due season, the land should yield her increase, and the trees of the field should yield their fruit. He promised that their threshing should reach unto the vintage, and the vintage unto the sowing-time, and that they should eat their bread to the full, and dwell in their land safely.... But if they disregarded His requirements, He would deal with them entirely contrary to all this. His curse should rest upon them in place of His blessing. He would break their pride of power, and would make the heavens over them as iron and the earth as brass....WGD 335.3

    Those who are selfishly withholding their means, need not be surprised if God’s hand scatters.... God can scatter the means He has lent to His stewards, if they refuse to use it to His glory.—Testimonies for the Church 2:661.WGD 335.4
