As you reap each of your crops, bring me the choicest sample of the first day's harvest; it shall be offered to the Lord your God....
Since the early days of Israel's history God had a plan for His people to celebrate. They celebrated Passover to commemorate their deliverance from death and Egyptian captivity. They celebrate with feasts to remember God's blessings and His promises to them. Feasts often incorporate a remembrance of the harvest. God's people would bring their very best to the Temple to give thanks for His provision. We too, are thankful in this season of the year for all that God has given to us. We thank Him for the harvests of the past and the anticipated harvests we will reap in the future. Let us lift our highest praise and worship to our God who blesses us daily with His benefits.
Pastor John
