Scripture:
“You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young. The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.” Deuteronomy 7:14-15 NIV
Observation:
When God’s people were approaching the land He had promised them. He reminded them of their covenant with Him. If they kept their part, He promised that they would be blessed more than any other people. He said none of their people would be childless, and that He would keep them free from every disease. He made incredible promises if His people would simply obey Him. Today, we are in a new covenant that is better than the old one. God still takes care of those who walk in humility and obedience to Him.
Application:
If we want to live a blessed life, we must do our part of the bargain. As for me, I want to serve the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. I want to walk in His favor and live a blessed life. Therefore I must be ready to live in constant obedience to Him in all things. As I do, His blessings will overtake my life.
Prayer:
Father, help me to walk with You every day of my life. I want to live under Your covenant and fulfill my obligations in that covenant. Help me to say yes to everything You want me to do. Empower me to live how You want me to live. Show me each and every step to take. Speak clearly to me and let me be a good follower of Christ.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
