Throughout the Old Testament, God is depicted as the source of all blessings and goodness (<a href="/psalms/34-8.htm">Psalm 34:8</a>, <a href="/james/1-17.htm">James 1:17</a>). The assurance that God will provide what is good reflects His covenant relationship with Israel, where He promises to care for His people if they remain faithful (<a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28:1-14</a>). This promise is not only material but also spiritual, pointing to the ultimate good found in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who is the embodiment of God's goodness (<a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>).<p><b>and our land will yield its increase</b><br>This phrase speaks to the agricultural context of ancient Israel, where the land's productivity was directly linked to God's blessing (<a href="/leviticus/26-4.htm">Leviticus 26:4</a>). The land yielding its increase is a sign of divine favor and a fulfillment of God's promises to His people (<a href="/genesis/26-12.htm">Genesis 26:12</a>). In a broader sense, this can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual fruitfulness, where the land represents the hearts of believers, and the increase signifies the fruits of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). This also foreshadows the ultimate restoration and abundance in the new creation, where God's people will experience eternal prosperity and peace (<a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1-4</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is faithful to His promises and provides for His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_land_of_israel.htm">The Land of Israel</a></b><br>The physical land promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which is often seen as a symbol of God's blessing and provision.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Likely a member of the sons of Korah, who authored this psalm as a prayer for restoration and blessing upon the land and people of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_is_certain.htm">God's Provision is Certain</a></b><br>Trust in the LORD's promise to provide what is good.
