The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Deut 28:8 (Ref: 1-14)
I have always petitioned the Lord to bless me in order that I might be a blessing to someone else and He has never failed me. He has blessed me in so many areas of my life to bless others and not just in the monetary sense. However, my sights have always been set higher and it has been my endeavor to be a blessing to fifth power (okay so that may sound a bit comic bookish, but you get my point) and bless others on a larger scale, both spiritually and financially. Can I tell you that I have a “get ready” down in my spirit!
The chapter begins with Moses speaking of the blessings promised for obedience, which is the first rule of command from God. Of course, like in all things, we must first be aligned with God’s word in order to receive the blessings, not only those which we seek, but those which are promised. We must be positioned and ready to receive, as well as being able to handle, what we receive. You have to be ready for this… are you ready for this?
Moses said if we diligently hear, seek and do all that God commands, then He will set us on high and our blessings shall come and overtake us, we’d be blessed in the city, blessed in the field and even our children will be blessed. We’ll be blessed when we come in and blessed when we go out. Our enemies that rise up against us will wish they had not and the Lord will let us see them get what they deserve for coming against his people. Then as if it couldn’t get any better, Moses said He shall command, order, instruct, demand, decree, declare, and direct the blessings upon us and that the blessings have to obey and fill our storehouses (we have to pause and praise right there!).
He also said “In all”, not some, that we set our hands on will be blessed; in all that we set our hands to do will be blessed. He will bless us in the land, establish us as His people; we will be plenteous or abundant in goods, yes, the tangible that we can touch. He will open up to us His good treasure or better yet, we have unlimited access to all His many benefits. He said He would rain on us in His season and bless the work of our hands. We would be the lender and not the borrower. That sounds like increase in every aspect of our lives to me! If we would diligently hear, seek and do all that God commands, He will make us the head and not the tail; we will be above only and not beneath... and these are just some of the promised blessings.
What a way to begin the week, knowing that we are blessed of God and knowing that He has blessed us to be a blessing!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
