Covenantal Blessings

 Scripture:

“You must serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from your midst.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭25‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

This verse falls in the middle of Moses’ meeting with God and receiving all God’s commands and decrees. God was giving them the revelation of how to walk with God and to have His blessing on their lives. This one verse in the midst of an entire covenant, is powerful. God says that if we serve Him completely, He would bless our bread and water and remove sickness from us.

Application:

There are covenantal blessings when we walk with God as He tells us to. God promises here that if we serve Him according to His ways, and not the ways of the rest of the world, we will be blessed and He will heal our sicknesses. As God’s children, we must follow Him, not according to our ways, but according to His ways. When we do that, we can be assured that He will bless those who wholeheartedly follow Him. Hebrews tells us that He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him.

Prayer:

Father, bless my bread and water, my provision and sustenance. Let Your blessings fall on my life. Take sickness from my family. Let Cheryl and me walk in divine health. Restore my youth like the eagles as I pursue You. Teach me to follow Your ways and to do Your will. Let my life be used for Your glory and the extension of Your kingdom.

Yours Always,

Jeff
