“If” establishes a prerequisite or condition upon which the promise is made.
The condition upon which one may eat the good of the land is two-fold:
Willingness (desiring God’s will)—This is a matter of the heart.
Obedience (doing God’s will)—This is a matter of doing what God says.
Doing things God’s way
Let go of the past.
Don’t let the shortcomings and offenses of the past prevent you from embracing the future God has planned.
Set your mind on God’s best.
The greatest enemy of God’s best is the second best.
Don’t trust your own wisdom.
Don’t trust your own heart.
This means do not to trust your fallen instincts and feelings that are corrupted by the deceptive influences of selfishness, self-centeredness, self-interest, self-preservation, and self-will.
Don’t follow ungodly counsel.
Be obedient to God’s revealed will.
Depend upon God’s grace.
You cannot experience God’s best in God’s way without God’s grace.
Response to the Word
