Since the beginning of time, land has been the center of our existence. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. There are 52 Bible verses about property and land. God promised a land flowing with milk and honey to his chosen people. The bible clearly acknowledges that some land had more value than other land. When famine was severe, crop yields were low and mankind suffered. Land with water was very important. Wars have been fought to possess land. Many verses refer to land exchanges and the consideration paid. Everything revolves around land.

At Christmas, let us remember the Reason for the Season,  Jesus Christ. The earth is the LORD’S. We are merely stewards of the land during our lifespan. Enjoy land and the fruit it produces. Never overlook our place in this world.
