ROGATION DAY AND THE FOOD CRISIS

Tuesday, April 29. 2008

Yesterday in the Church Calendar was Rogation Day. Originally, in England, it was a day of walking about the fields and praying for God’s blessing on the land and coming Harvest. The Word of the Lord for the day included the following. It is addressed to the Israelites. I believe it applies to America as well. It has direct application to the growing oil and food crisis.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

If you will only obey the Lord your God, by diligently observing all his commandments that I am commanding you today [The Torah] all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the Lord your God:

Blessed shall you be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of your ground

Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-bowl.

The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns, and in all that you undertake; he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground in the land that the Lord swore to your ancestors to give you. The Lord will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.

… if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today, by diligently observing them, and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I am commanding you today, either to the right or to the left, following other gods to serve them.
