What has the Lord shown you?
Deuteronomy 28 is part of Moses' final instructions to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. In this chapter, Moses presents both blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. This passage is part of the covenant God made with Israel—if they obey His commandments, they will prosper, but if they turn away, they will suffer consequences. What the Lord reveals through this verse is His desire to bless His people abundantly—but there is a condition: obedience. When we listen to His voice and walk in His ways, His blessings will not only come to us but will overtake us. This shows that His favor is not limited or scarce; it is overflowing and unstoppable for those who remain faithful to Him.
How do you obey it?
- Listen to God’s Word: Read the Bible daily. Meditate on God’s promises and commands. Be attentive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
- Obey God’s Commands: Follow God’s moral laws. Live righteously and walk in love. Be faithful in small and big things.
- Repent and Stay Close to God: Confess sins and turn away from wrongdoing. Stay humble and rely on God’s grace. Keep a pure heart and motives.
- Trust and Submit to God: Acknowledge Him in all your ways. Seek His will before making decisions. Have faith in His promises and act on them.
- Serve and Love Others: Help those in need. Be a blessing to others through generosity and kindness. Share the Gospel and make disciples.
Reflection
In what areas of your life you are obedient to God's Word? Where do you struggle? How often do you spend time reading and meditating on God’s Word? How can you apply God’s commands more intentionally in your family, work, and relationships? Do you believe that obedience to God leads to true blessings, even if they don’t come immediately? Are you focusing more on temporary rewards or eternal blessings? How can you develop a heart that obeys God out of love rather than obligation?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart that desires to obey Your voice and walk in Your ways. You have promised that if I listen to You and follow Your commands, Your blessings will overtake me. Lord, help me to hear Your voice clearly and obey You in every area of my life. Give me wisdom to understand Your Word and the strength to apply it daily. Remove any distractions or obstacles that keep me from following You wholeheartedly. Align my heart with Your will so that I may live a life that pleases You. I trust in Your faithfulness and believe that Your promises are true. I receive Your blessings—spiritually, physically, and in all aspects of my life—as I walk in obedience. Thank You for Your love, grace, and abundant provision. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
