Wow, I read today Deuteronomy 28….

God really spoke to me about His blessings on our lives through obedience to Him.  Reading the whole chapter really is amazing so I would encourage you to do so, but verse 2 says

“And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God”

What a profound thought to think that if we simply obey God, listen to His voice, we will be overtaken by His blessings!  Sometimes I think and feel I get really caught up in pursuing a life that God will give blessings to, but int he sense of just pursuing the blessings…when you really think about it, God will OVERTAKE you with blessings when you aren’t pursuing them, when you are simply set on Him and not anything else around it.

God is so good to us even when we have not deserved His fullest blessing!  He has given us trials and He has given us abundantly from His riches, and we ask still that He does continue to bless us, spiritually,  physicall, financially, etc… we want God’s fullness of blessings and joys on our lives.  And while God does chasten the child that does not obey Him to bring Him back, God is faithful and just to forgive us and bless us in every stage of life!

His love for us is so great, I can’t comprehend what He was thinking when He chose me and loved me and now calls me His own.
