God is God of the Fat Not the Skinny

God Is God of the Fat not the Skinny

Psalms 65:11



You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness. (Ps. 65:11)



In the time of David, when God crowns the year with goodness, everything is fat because God walks through the land and the people follow. When God walks and the people follow God’s path, every step God makes drop fatness. The fatness of God drops upon the pastures of the wilderness, and so the wilderness has fat pastures for grazing animals.

The little hills of the wilderness rejoice because of fatness, everything is green and beautiful. Flock cloth the pastures and corn covers the valley. The fatness of the valleys gives life that compels the valleys to shout and sing.

This is the year for the people of God to pray that God crowns the year with goodness. And yes, we also want fatness; but fatness belongs to those who follow God’s path. One cannot expect fatness if one is not walking God’s path. Those who walk in the footsteps of God walk in the fatness of God, while those who follow their own path boast about being skinny.
