Do you ever read some of the stories in the Old Testament and think the ancient anecdotes are outdated in our modern world?

Is your life filled with God’s abundance? When God brought Israel into the promised land, he gave them a land with streams; a land with wheat and barley, vines and figs, olive oil and honey; a land where bread was not scarce and where they lacked nothing (Deuteronomy 8:7-9).
