Deuteronomy 28:1-2 NKJV
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:
Friends, This chapter is a very large exposition of two words, the blessing and the curse. They are real things and have real effects. The blessings are here put before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be drawn to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath. The blessing is promised, upon condition that they diligently hearken to the voice of God. Let them keep up religion, the form and power of it, in their families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all their outward concerns.
The blessings of God comes with our obedience to God. Israel rebelled against God and they wandered in the desert for 40 years. They disobeyed God and His statutes and God withheld the blessings. But when Joshua lead the new generation of Israel, Joshua started to lead them with saying Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Hallelujah 🙌 🔥! Amen! Blessings comes with a price, OBEDIENCE IS THE PRICE we must pay. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
1. Obedience is seeking the Lord!
2. Obedience is worshipping God.
3. Obedience is following God wholeheartedly.
4. Obedience is doing His will.
5. Obedience is not grumbling and complaining against God.
God is asking obedience from us. Are we willing to obey God?
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
