“Productive With Products To Share” Gen 49:20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. Matthew Henry comments, “The God of nature has provided for us not only necessaries but dainties, that we might call him a bountiful benefactor; yet, whereas all places are competently furnished with necessaries, only some places afford dainties. Corn is more common than spices. Were the supports of luxury as universal as the supports of life, the world would be worse than it is, and that it needs not be.” The place where Asher was to live would be filled with oil and corn. The king’s table would be filled with these dainties. Corn is used in many things here in America. In the upper states of the Midwest we find acres and acres of corn that is to feed the cattle as well as other animals. A special corn is raised in Iowa which is called sweet corn and is very delicious. Our Lord provides us with many special foods for us to enjoy with giving Him thanks for the blessings. Oil is so needful in the north east for heat and for our cars to run properly. Sometimes we take the blessings of God for granted in our lives and get our eyes on what we do not have instead of what God has given to us for enjoyment. Today take time to thank God for His church, pastor and people of God. He is rich in grace and mercy to us with not giving us what we deserve and blessing us with what we don’t deserve. “What a friend we have in Jesus!”
