25. A Y S S T L Y G A H S B T B A T W A I W T S A F T M O T
And him only, who had brought them out of Egypt, and done so many great and good things for them at the Red sea, and now in the wilderness. By which he appeared to be the true Jehovah, the one and only living God, and to be their God in covenant, who had promised them much, and had performed it. And therefore was in a special and peculiar manner their God, and they were under the highest obligations to serve and worship him in the way and manner he directed them to.
“And he shall bless thy bread and thy water”: And make them nourishing and refreshing to them, and preserve them thereby in health, as well as prosper and succeed them, and increase their worldly substance.
“And I will take sickness away from the midst of thee”. The stroke of bitterness, or the bitter stroke, as the Targum of Jonathan, any grievous disease, which is bitter and distressing. Signifying that there should be none among them, but that they should be healthful, and free from distempers and diseases.
If these Children of Israel stayed obedient to God and worshipped Him only and tore down these images of false gods, we see wonderful blessings spoken upon them. They would have plenty to eat and drink and not one of them would get sick. Many sicknesses in our society today are brought on because of sin in our lives. Aids are a very good example of that. Not every single person brought it on himself, because there are those who acquired it from blood transfusions; but the great majority got it, because of sins they were committing. Many other diseases would be nearly done away with if people would lay their cigarettes and whiskey down.
