Today I read Deuteronomy 6, where if we love the Lord our God, God will bless us with property and food to eat. Today I considered that God gives us promises of what the Lord will do for us for loving and obeying the Lord.
Blessed When You Love and Obey God
Wherever we go, we are to respect the Lord, obey God, tell our children about the Lord, and love the Lord; then the Lord will bless us (Deuteronomy 6:1-25). As long as we are alive we are to love God, following His commandments and instructions. When we are doing anything with our children, grandchildren or great grandchildren, we are to be instructing and informing them about what miracles God has done, His commandments, and what God will do. God will give us buildings, fruit fields, and wells we did not have to work for. We need to just continue to put God first and God will continue to bless us and future generations.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
God promises rewards or downfall. When you are truly following God, God promises: “…houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not…” (Deuteronomy 6:11 KJV). But if you have other false gods you can cause “the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 6:15b KJV).
When have you seen someone diligently seeking God and they received one of these rewards or blessings?
