BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE
DEUTERONOMY 7
Deuteronomy 7:12-14 NKJV
[12] “Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. [13] And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. [14] You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.
Reflect:
The Lord is our loving Father, who remains merciful and gracious to all His people and loves us unconditionally as we remain in Him.
Apart from the Lord, only curses and suffering await us, but abiding in Him brings blessing and peace into our lives. God promises us a life of abundance as we live for Him—not necessarily an abundance of physical things, but of spiritual blessings. When we have the Lord leading us and going before us, and as we walk in obedience to His Word, no trouble or trial in life is too difficult to overcome because we have our Almighty Father who guides, strengthens, and blesses us along the way. Nothing is greater than the love of our Almighty God.
Respond:
God wants us to love Him through continual obedience to His Word. Just as a father desires his children to follow his guidance to protect them, God desires the same for us. He wants to protect us from the consequences of sin and lead us into a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him.
