The Blessings of Obedience

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 28:13  "The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above and not beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully".

Observation:

God makes some pretty big promises to His people in this passage.  Of course they are dependent on the fact that His people will follow Him completely and do what He tells them to do.  If they do their part, God promises that they will be the head and not the tail and that they will be above only and not beneath.  He basically tells them that they will always be at the top of whatever they are doing.

Application:

God still delights in blessing obedience to Him and His ways.  His people, who are truly serving Him and following His paths, can expect to be blessed.  We should be at the top of the company, the job, the government, etc.  God's loves to put those at the top who will give honor to His name.  Walking with God has is privileges.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for making me the head and not the tail.  Thank You for keeping me above only and not beneath.  Thank You for raising my expectations this morning in the area of Your blessing.  I thank You for promotion, increase and the blessing and favor of God coming stronger and stronger on my life.

You are amazing!
