Numbers 34

"Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,  “Command the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance—the land of Canaan to its boundaries. " vv.1-2

Read chapter 34
The Lord tells of the boundaries of the promise land to Israel.  It was about 160 miles in length and 50 miles wide.  That's the length of the widest part of the great lake Lake Superior. This was a little compass of land for such a large population of people, yet for a long time this little plot of land was the only place on earth where God was known.  

This was the vineyard of the Lord, the garden enclosed; but as it is with gardens and vineyards, the narrowness of the space was made up by the fruitfulness of the soil. Though the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, yet few know him, and serve him; but those few are happy, because fruitful to God. Also, see how little a share of the world God gives to his own people. Those who have their portion in heaven, have reason to be content with a small pittance of this earth. Yet a little that a righteous man has, having it from the love of God, and with his blessing, is far better and more comfortable than the riches of many wicked. (Matthew Henry's Commentary)

For the area in which you live whether big or small, how are you making it "rich in soil" and a place where the Lord is known?
