DEUTERONOMY 8:7-8 CEB
because the LORD your God is bringing you to:-
- a WONDERFUL land,
- a land with streams of water, springs, and wells that gush up in the valleys and on the hills;
- a land of wheat and barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates;
- a land of olive oil and honey;
DEUTERONOMY 8:9-10 CEB
- a land where you will eat food without any shortage—
you won’t lack a thing there—
- a land where stone is hard as iron and where you will mine copper from the hills.
You will eat, you will be SATISFIED, and you will BLESS the LORD your GOD in the wonderful land that HE’S GIVEN you.
We will not have shortage of food and money.
Seek first the Kingdom of God.
God sees us in our past so underserving yet He still saved us though we do not deserve it.
To enter the promises, we cannot just lived by grace.
As we grow up, we don't depend on manna.
God wants to raise up a generations of sons and daughters who are weaned.
God preserved us because He wanted us to enter into the promise land.
In the end is more important.
We all have a good ending.

H2428 WEALTH
Original: חיל
Transliteration: CHAYIL
Phonetic: khah'-yil
BDB Definition:
strength, might, Efficiency, wealth, army
ability, efficiency
force
Strong's Definition:
From H2342; a force, whether of men, means or other resources; an army, wealth, virtue, valor, strength:- able, activity, (+) army, band of men (soldiers), company, (great) forces, goods, host, might, power, riches, strength, strong, substance, train, (+) valiant (-ly), valour, virtuous (-ly), war, worthy (-ily).
"The word translated wealth here is CHAYIL. The picture again is that the force of might, power, or riches, the Chayil comes from Yahweh to serve His purposes and we are to remember that."
CHAYIL is spelled Chet, Yood, Lamed.
Yood is the picture of the hand or arm and points to a mighty deed.
Lamed is the picture of the shepherd’s staff and demonstrates the voice of authority or control.
Our Daddy God is our shepherd and He will lead us and guide us.
The letter Chet is also the number 8 which is a NEW BEGINNING.
The letter Yood is the number 10 and stands for something ordained in Heaven.
The letter Lamed is also the number 30 and points to the blood of Christ and His blood sacrifice.
The numbers tell us that Elohim has ordained in Heaven that the blood sacrifice of Yeshua Ha-Mashiach will give us a NEW BEGINNING.
HABAKKUK 3:19 AMP
We will have freedom from sin through that blood sacrifice and the promise of a NEW BEGINNING with HIM. The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my FEET [steady and sure] like HINDS' FEET And makes me WALK [FORWARD with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility].
We are meant to walk, we have spiritual feet.
Walk forward and not backward.
Walk forward with spiritual confidence in our God.
The word strength is again Chayil or valor.
The LORD God, or Yahweh Adonai, is our ultimate man of valor.
He is the voice of authority who by the mighty work of His blood sacrifice provided an eternal place of sanctuary for us with Him in Heaven.
If you have placed your trust in Him, He sees you as He saw Joshua’s fighting men; Gideon hiding in the winepress, and the woman in Proverbs 31: Chayil, mighty men and women of valor.
We are all man and woman of valor.
Mighty in God.
The leg of the letter gimel expresses the RUNNING of the RICH man to BESTOW GOOD upon the poor man. RUNNING, more than any other physical act, expresses the power of WILL and freedom of CHOICE (the Hebrew word for "running," ratz, is related to the word for "will," ratzon).
The Gimel is the one who is running.
It is our choice to run or not to run.
"The gimel of "today" is the secret of better one hour of teshuvah and good deeds in this world than all the life of the world to come.
The gimel of "tomorrow" is the secret of better one hour of serenity in the world to come than all of the life of this world." Live today to the fullest and for tomorrow, leave it to God. Living for the Lord.
This year, Holy Spirit wants us to move.
He is going to do something through us. Move into the promised land with the confidence that Jesus is with us.
Do whatever God has put in our hearts for the Kingdom of God.
GIMEL - A vav with a yud as a foot.
A person in MOTION.
JOSHUA 1:3 NIV
I will give you every place where you SET your FOOT, as I promised Moses.
