Isaiah 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;

Everyone wants to eat the good of the land. What’s the good of the land? Walking in divine health, having peace of mind, and prospering in our finances to the point where we can easily be a blessing to others.

To eat the good of the land, we must be willing and obedient. Our obedience is not to the law, but to the Spirit of God (Ezekiel 36:27). People under the old covenant could only honor God by being obedient to the Law of Moses. We’re no longer under the law, but under grace (Rom. 6:14). Through grace, the gift of the Holy Spirit is sealed inside every born-again believer (Ephesians 1:13). Our obedience to His Spirit positions us to eat the good of the land.

He may tell us to remove certain things from our diet, apply to that job, or stop spending our money on certain things. All these instructions are rooted in love. God loves us to the point where He’ll give us detailed instructions so that we’ll eat the good of the land, but we must be willing and obedient.
