The Lord Does Prosper His People

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 28:11 "And the Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give you".

Observation:

God made some pretty incredible promises to the people of Israel, but they were all dependent on them obeying His laws and following His ways.  When they followed His completely, they were promised prosperity, abundance, open heavens, and everything would go well with them.  If they disobeyed Him, they would experience His curses.

Application:

When we walk in obedience to the Lord God Almighty, we can rest assured that He want to prosper us in every way.  When we walk in disobedience, we can expect to see things go wrong for us in every area as well.  God did this as a covenant.  He made promises for obedience that were incredible and punishments for disobedience.  We need to walk in obedience to the Lord, then we can have the assurance that He will prosper the work of our hands.

Prayer:

Father, You promised blessing and prosperity for those who follow and obey You.  Let your blessing fall on my life.  Let Your blessing fall on my family.  Let your blessing fall on the church I pastor.  Let my life be truly blessed!  I will declare Your goodness to the ends of the earth.

Yours,
Jeff
