THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU
Keywords 15:6
For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and
you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over
many nations but none will rule over you.
1. Be openhanded and give generously (1-11)
The LORD is a God of
blessing. He provided for the cancelling of debts among
his people. He intended to bless them, and for this reason
they can trust in his
blessing, for he is the one who promised to give them the
land as their inheritance.
Those who live under God’s rule are not ruled by greed or
fear in the world. Being
openhanded and generous is practical trust in the LORD who
provides. His
compassionate provision sustains his people in poverty and
wealth.
2. You must let them go free (12-23)
The Israelites had
been slaves, but God redeemed them and set them free. They
were still influenced by the culture of their times. But God
told them to set Hebrew
slaves free after seven years and not to send them away
empty-handed. They
were also to set aside the firstborn of the flock and eat
before the LORD.
Prayer Lord, you are the blessing for me. Help me to
be openhanded and
generous, that I may learn the God of blessing, and that I
may be a
blessing.
One Word The Lord God will bless you
