The First Fruits

Frances Taylor 

In addition to the commandments, the Lord gave the people rules to live by that included dietary laws, laws concerning the various feasts that would offer blessings to God and ways of treating people that probably sound pretty strange to us today. But let's consider this one. Why do you think God is asking for the first fruits of the first harvest in the new land? To me, this is asking for a sign of gratitude for all that the Lord had done for them. He brought them out of slavery in Egypt, guided them through the desert, fed them during their journey, made sure they had water to drink and now is bringing them to a new land so that they can live in freedom. Think back to the story of Cain and Abel and their offerings. Abel offered the best of his harvest; Cain doesn't seem to have done the same. Offering sacrifice was a long-standing tradition at that time, in that culture. It would seem to be the natural thing to do. What are we asked to sacrifice as a sign of gratitude? People who attend church on a regular basis are asked to contribute to the support of that church. What about the others? Do we offer sacrifice of time or money to our community to support local charities? Maybe we support organizations that help people world-wide. Many people go on mission trips to less fortunate areas of their own countries, or to other nations that are in need. It's really not important what sign of gratitude we choose to offer, it's important to offer it. May we always remember that we, too, have been brought out of slavery to sin and death and that a Promised Land awaits us as well.

Prayer 

Loving God, you are so patient with your people. You have given us so much more than the Israelites, and you ask so little. May we be generous with our sacrifice of thanks. Amen.

Daily Prayer and Devotion 2-8-2025

Morning Prayer 

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Inspiration 

The scribes could only teach in the synagogue saying, "the Scripture says this or that" or "the rabbis say such and such, " but Jesus taught as one having personal authority. He was not a mere scribe, nor even only a prophet, but the very Son of God.

Prayer 

Lord Jesus, you are the authoritative Son of God, and your Word is Law. You bring us the Words of the Father and you are the Word of the Father. We know that you have the Words of Life, and that salvation is to be found in no other. Help us to pay careful attention to your Words and teachings, knowing from whom they come. Amen.
