May I Be Blessed

Scripture: Luke 11:28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Observation: God’s word says to hear and obey, then you may be blessed. I read the word each day without fail and continue to have a better understanding. I have a hard time hearing, because I don’t listen, but when I do I try obey? However there are times that I hear but if it’s not convenient for me a pretend I didn’t hear anything. God’s blessings are reserved for those who obey all of the time.

Application: I need to be obedient in all things at all times. I know that I waste my time and that’s not of God’s will. He has a reason and a purpose for my life and it’s not to be wasted. I have a command to bear fruit, to tell others the gospel, to bring them to the promise of God, to serve and other duties that are summed up in His word.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me receive the blessings you desire to give me. Help me be obedient to all you say and that I will be pleasing in your sight. That these talents you entrusted me with will multiply and be a blessing back to You.
