All These Blessings

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 28:2  "All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God".

Observation:

As Deuteronomy 28 opens, the Lord says that is His children obey Him, many blessings will come their way.  He then lists many blessings including prosperity, provision, protection, and anything else they would need as they go into the land He promised them that flows with milk and honey.  The thing that stands out about these blessings, which are constantly preached and taught, is that they are dependent on our obedience.  There is a whole list, which is much longer, for those who don't obey the Lord.

Application:

We can't claim all the blessings unless we walk in obedience.  If we walk in disobedience, we can expect lots of curses.  Obedience brings blessing!  Disobedience brings the curse.  We must become people who walk in obedience, not just when it feels good, but at all times.  We must walk in obedience to our God, then we can expect incredible seasons of blessing.

Prayer:

Father, you are amazing.  You want to bless Your people with every blessing.  You delight in raising your people up.  You also want a people who listen to Your voice and obey.  Help me to hear and obey what You ask me to do at all times.  I want to live under the incredible blessing of my Father.

Yours,
Jeff
