Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. (Leviticus 26:4 KJV)

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. (Leviticus 26:5 KJV)

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. (Leviticus 26:6 KJV)

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. (Leviticus 26:7 KJV)

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. (Leviticus 26:8 KJV)

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. (Leviticus 26:9 KJV)

And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. (Leviticus 26:10 KJV)

And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. (Leviticus 26:11 KJV)

I have to say that I struggle with this passage- mainly because it is my heart’s desire to walk in obedience to Adonai’s commands; but in the cultural circumstances I live, I would be considered rather poor. Does this mean that if I live obediently to Torah then my kids will get a Nintendo DX? No. It means I will be provided for with super-abundance in ways that I never could have possibly imagined. And when I step back and do the math- our state of being in this community is miraculous. All of our needs are met with chocolate chip cookies to spare!

The King, the Peasant and the Nightingale
By Yanki Tauber

The story is told of a king who once decided to reward a peasant who had done him a great service. "Shall I give him a sack of gold? a bag of pearls?" thought the king. "But these mean virtually nothing to me. I want, for once, to truly give something -- something that I will miss, a gift that constitutes a sacrifice for me."
Now this king had a nightingale who sang the sweetest songs a human ear had ever heard. He treasured the nightingale over all else, and literally found life unbearable without it. So he summoned the peasant to his palace and gave him the bird . "This," said the king, "is in appreciation for your loyalty and devotion." "Thank you, Your Majesty," said the peasant, and took the royal gift to his humble home.
A while later, the king was passing through the peasant's village and commanded his coachman to halt at the peasant's door. "How are you enjoying my gift?" he inquired of his beloved subject.
"The truth to tell, Your Majesty," said the peasant, "the bird's meat was quite tough -- all but inedible, in fact. But I cooked it with lots of potatoes, and it gave the stew an interesting flavor."
