Healthy Thinking Day 18 - Blessings for your Obedience.

So God is amazing and so faithful to us who are sometimes not. I was thinking this morning of all the good things He has done for my wife and I. Some of those blessings came at times where we were believing, some came very unexpectedly. But all of them came at the right time.

Deuteronomy 28 v 1 - 14 Speaks about the Blessings for obedience. its so amazing how God makes it easy for us to be blessed. All he requires from us is to HONOR His Word. Now lets deal with Honor quick. Honor is the value you place on something or someone. Imagine you have a bag full of gold or Dimonds. You really value that bag and would do anything to protect it and look after it. you would maybe carry it close to you. That is the same way you should look at your relationship with God and His word.

Now if you honor His Word you would do anything to Protect it and to do what it says to do. Once we get this right it becomes easy to be obedient. Once the obedience arrives the blessings follow. They go hand in hand.

Change your view of The Word today and honor it and watch the blessing follow.

Now Go!

Deuteronomy 28 New International Version - UK (NIVUK)

Blessings for obedience

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands that I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. ² All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

⁴ The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock – the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

⁵ Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

⁷ The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

⁸ The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
⁹ The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. ¹⁰ Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. ¹¹ The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity – in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground – in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
¹² The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. ¹³ The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. ¹⁴ Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
