3. God's bounty 65:9-13

65:9a Not only does God hear prayer, He also sends bountiful harvests.

65:9b-10 These descriptions view God tending the earth as a farmer would. However, God is the One responsible for the abundance of crops (cf. 1 Cor. 3:6).

65:11-13 David pictured the earth rich with God's blessing on fields and flocks and rejoicing in His goodness.

In spite of man's sin, God blesses his environment with many good things so that he can prosper and rejoice. God delights to bless people. He is a good as well as a great God.
