Greatly Blessed

 Scripture:

““There should be no poor among you, for the Lord your God will greatly bless you in the land he is giving you as a special possession.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God’s people are about to enter the Promised Land in this verse. As they are preparing to go in, He tells them of how He will bless them in the land if they follow His commands. Here He tells them that there should be no poor among all of Israel because God was going to GREATLY BLESS them. When God greatly blesses something, it will prosper and affect everything around it.

Application:

As children of Abraham, we are blessed to be part of God’s covenant with his descendants. When we truly live a life that God blesses, we should be able to eradicate the poverty around us. I would love to see God’s church so blessed that there are no poor among us whatsoever. I would love to see the day when every believer is thriving and not just surviving. We also would have to get the right heart when He blesses us. A heart that shares with, and gives opportunity to the poor.

Prayer:

Father, You are so good! I long to see a people so blessed that there are no poor among us. I long to see the fulfillment of Your promise to the children of Israel. Let poverty be erased in the lives of my people. Let the people of my church and those around us be GREATLY BLESSED, so much so that there would be no more poverty among us. Free Your people from the bondage of poverty.

Your Son,

Jeff
