Blessings That Overtake Us

Scripture Deut 28:2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

Observation: I want to obey the voice of my Lord to show Him my gratitude for all He has done for me, but you can’t out bless God. As I obey and grow closer to God He increases His blessings for me, not because I deserve them because He desires to give them. They don’t only come but I’m told they will overtake me. You can’t earn God’s love or do anything that will promote yourself, but you can obey and honor God and give Him just a little of the joy He gives you.

Application: My mind wanders all of the time and it is hard to stay focused on anything. I always start the day trying to be focused on what God wants of me for that day, but anger and pride rear their ugly head and side track me for a while. I need to continually ask God for guidance through the Holy Spirit to obey every command and end the day as I started, close to Him.

Prayer: My Lord I know you love me and there is nothing I can do to make you love me more, but I can bring joy to your day. Help me be the bright part of your day when you think of your servant. I want to obey each command and be faithful by the service I supply to you. Help me please be a blessing to You.
