Room For The Harvest | Grain and New Wine

Grain and New WineScripture: Psalm 4:6–8 Runtime: ~5 minIn the Old Testament, grain and new wine show up together so often they work almost as a single phrase — shorthand for a people who have enough, evidence that God has been generous. But one psalm asks for something else before it ever gets to the harvest.In this episode:How "grain and new wine" functions throughout the Old Testament as a picture of abundance, from Isaac's blessing over Jacob to Moses' blessing over IsraelWhy Proverbs' image of overflowing barns and brimming vats always pointed back to a generous God, not just a good growing seasonHow David, surrounded by people asking "who will bring us prosperity," asks for something else first — the light of God's faceThe reminder running through Psalm 4: the harvest is a gift, but the giver is the joyReflection: David prays for the light of God's face before he prays about grain and new wine — what does that ordering tell you about where he locates his joy? Think of a season when God's provision was obvious to you. What did it show you about his character, and not only about your circumstances?Hear the message for this week's devotional on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristFellowshipMcKinneyGet the written devotional at: https://cfhome.org/EGDIf you are in the North Dallas area and would like to join us for services each week, you can find all the information at https://cfhome.org.
