This morning I was pondering the statement about the  
'land vomiting out the people'....    

Context:    
Moses is giving specific laws to the people  
and in the midst of teaching the standards God required  
he speaks of an interesting and strange connection  
between sin  
and 'the land'.
- A nation sins.
- The land is defiled
The land can only take that so long
and at some point it vomits out the people (nation)

The reverse of the principle stands as well.
When the nation (people) abide by God's laws
they will possess (inherit) the land
and it will be a land of 'milk and honey'...
see Lev 18:27-28, 20:22-25

So I read this
and I wonder....
How is Canada doing on that?
Is there a difference because we live in New Testament times....?
What does it 'look like' when the 'land is defiled'....?

What is God calling me to be in that nation?
How does my 'Salt and light'....
bring 'undefilement'.....

Hmmm...

Lord,
I am curious about the link between the
sinful or righteous actions of a nation of people
and the land they inhabit.

What is done in the heart
not only has effect in the heavenlies
but the earth as well....

Teach me more about these things Lord

Thank You.
