THESE BLESSINGS WILL COME ON YOU IF...
Keywords 28:2
All these blessings will
come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
1. You will be blessed (1-8)
For many chapters,
Moses reminded the people of all of God’s laws. More than a list of rules, they
represent a lifestyle and covenant relationship with God: He shows how life
works best. God promises that carefully following and obeying all His law produces
blessings. His blessings are not vague, but very personal and intimate,
covering every realm and area, whether urban or rural, in the fields or the
kitchen, going in or coming out, even dealing with enemies, and everything we
put our hands to. There is no area of life outside the benevolence of our
loving God, and he knows each one intimately.
2. Established as
his holy people (9-14)
God’s blessing was
for the nation. He redeems and establishes them as his holy people, just as he
promised if they obey. The result is profound: All nations would fear them.
They would be a blessing that overflows to the world both materially and
spiritually. They would be influential as the head, never the tail. All this
blessing is predicated on obedience to his words, avoiding all idols.
Prayer Father, you are a God
of blessing and are present in every area. In Jesus, all your promises are
“yes.” Help me follow him carefully today.
One Word God’s blessing granted in Christ
