Do you want God’s blessing on your life?
Good news: God wants to bless you! He is glorified when those who love Him are living a full, blessed life.
Better news: God not only blesses us, but He also provides the means for us to tap into His blessing. His Holy Spirit is constantly calling us into the place of obedience where God can bless us.
Check out these words from the Bible—
The Lord your God will delight in you if you obey His voice and keep the commands and decrees written in this Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. (Deuteronomy 30:10)
To tap into God’s blessing, there is the conditional IF: if we obey, and if we turn to Him exclusively. That’s the good news. But the better news is that obeying Him and turning to Him is not too hard for us. Look at what the very next verses say—
This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you to understand, and it is not beyond your reach. It is not kept in heaven, so distant that you must ask, “Who will go up to heaven and bring it down so we can hear it and obey?” It is not kept beyond the sea, so far away that you must ask, “Who will cross the sea to bring it to us so we can hear it and obey?” No, the message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can obey it. (30:11-14)
