Blessed Because of Obedience

 Scripture:

"I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions."

Observation:

In this passage, the Lord had appeared to Isaac and pronounced over him the blessing of his father Abraham. God promised to bless his life "because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions." Abraham and Isaac were blessed beacuse of Abraham's obedience to God.

Application:

Listening to God and obeying Him are the key ingredients to the blessing of God. God blesses those who hear His voice and do what He says. Many people are looking for some deep, hidden revelation for God to bless their lives, but I believe it is quite simple. I believe that obedience to the Word of God and the voice of the Lord brings about His blessing. My goal is to hear clearly and obey passionately.

Prayer:

Father, let me be a person who hears clearly and obeys passionately. Help me to walk with You in complete obedience in every area of my life. Let me abide in You continuously. Help me to fulfill everything You placed me on earth to fulfill. Let my answer to You always be "YES." I want to be blessed because I obeyed the Word and the voice of God.

Yours.
