As a young Christian I named my first farm Canaan Farm
after the verse at left. To me the verse said:
"I am the LORD your God,
which via the new birth
brought you out of the world,
to give you the Promised Land,
and to actually become - in practice - your God."
After I'd grown enough to realize I was serious about serving Him,
I moved to another farm and named it Blue Ribband Farm
after Numbers 15:37-41. I wanted to grow beyond being a
"Christian" and become a faithful doer of His word.
Num 15:37-41 says:
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they
make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout
their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the
borders a ribband of blue: And it shall be unto you for a fringe,
that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments
of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own
heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and
be holy unto your God. I am the LORD your God, which brought
you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God:
I am the LORD your God."
