Scripture:
“If you listen to these commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.” Deuteronomy 28:13 NLT
Observation:
In this passage, the Lord speaks to His children and tells them that when they enter the Promised Land, they better serve Him according to His covenant with them. If they obeyed His commands and operated as He said, they would be the head and not the tail, always on top and never at the bottom. If they didn’t do what the Lord wanted, they would be cursed beyond measure.
Application:
When we choose to follow the Lord and live life as He tells us to, we are entering a covenant with Him. He is always good on His side of the covenant. When we do our part, He will do His. We must put the Lord first in every area of our lives. We must honor Him, pursue Him, and listen to His voice. When we operate according to His ways, we will get His results, which are incredible. His promises to those who obey Him are amazing. I want to live in His promises. Therefore, I must obey Him completely each and every day.
Prayer:
Father, You are good and Your mercies are new every morning. You are faithful to those who are committed to You. Thank You for loving me and adopting me into Your incredible family! You are the best. Help me to follow You completely. Let my life see Your blessings and never Your curses. Empower me to walk in obedience at all times and to see the benefits of walking with You.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
