Blessing From God Above

Read: Deuteronomy 29:9, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3

Reflect: Throughout history we see God bless those who keep His commandments. What are some things that you think God might bless you with if you keep His Word?

Request (Prayer): Ask God to give you strength to keep His Word.

There are a lot of schemes that people use to entice others about “get-rich-quick” methods. Anywhere from testing products that aren’t out to the public, telemarketing agencies and the list goes on. These are all ways and ideas to get people to find satisfaction in their life and to feel accomplished.

The funny thing is that the Bible tells us to do the exact opposite of what others tell us to do. People try to promise prosperity and blessings with ways of doing work for others, the Bible tells us, as Deuteronomy 29:9 says to, “Keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.”

Do you want to prosper? Do you want to be successful in life? Then keep the commandments of the Lord, and He will bless beyond anything you could ever hope or dream of.

People try to promise happiness and satisfaction, but it always seems to fail. God’s promises are always true and will always be kept. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.” And it’s true! He promised to watch over Abraham and all his generations, and God promises to watch over us as well. How cool is that? To know that God is always with us and always will be.

When that “get-rich-quick” scheme seems to fail you, when the money seemed to be promised, when the people said they’d help you out fail, God will NOT! God never fails! He never looses hope in you, He never gives up, He tells you to persevere and He helps you through it all.

Trust in God and His promises, and He will reward you for your faithfulness to Him!
