Food is a Blessing from God

Food is a blessing from God. This none will deny. The overflowing blessing that God promises to those who render to Him His tithe is thus stated: “I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field.” 1 When the people offered willingly in the days of Hezekiah, there was plenty to eat, because God “blessed His people.” 2 God’s witness of Himself is that he does good, and sends rain and fruitful seasons from Heaven, filling us with food and gladness. 3 EVCO 250.1
