592 - Blessings for Obedience

​Blessings for Obedience

“If you fully obey the Lord, your God …and carefully keep all His commands, that I am giving you today, the Lord, your God, will set you high above all the nations, of the world. 

You will experience all these blessings if you obey the Lord your God: 

Your towns and your fields will be blessed. 

Your children and your crops will be blessed. 

The offspring, of your herds and flocks, will be blessed. 

Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. 

Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. 

“The Lord will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you, from one direction, but they will scatter from you, in seven! 

“The Lord will guarantee a blessing, on everything you do …and will fill your storehouses, with grain. 

The Lord, your God, will bless you, in the land, that He is giving to you. 

“If you obey the commands of the Lord your God …and walk in His ways, the Lord will establish you, as His holy people… as He swore (to your ancestors that) He would do. 

Then, all the nations, of the world, will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, …and they will stand in awe of you. 

“The Lord will give you prosperity, in the land He swore to your ancestors …to give to you, …blessing you …with many children, numerous livestock, and abundant crops. 

The Lord will send rain, at the proper time, from His rich treasury, in the heavens …and will bless all the work you do. 

You will lend to many nations, but you will never need to borrow, from them. If you listen to these commands, of the Lord your God, that I am giving to you today, …and if you carefully obey them, the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, …and you will always be on top …and never at the bottom. 

You must not turn away, from any of the commands, that I am giving to you today, …nor follow after other gods and worship them. 

Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

1426 - Isaiah 42 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 1  “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed, or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all, who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart, until justice prevails, throughout the earth. Even distant lands, beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.*” God, the Lord, created the heavens, and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says, “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, rele...

1427- Isaiah 42 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 2 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises, from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry; and He crush all his enemies. He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant. I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; ...

1434 - Isaiah 45 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 45 part 2 This is what the Lord says: “You will rule the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans. They will come to you, with all their merchandise, and it will all be yours. They will follow you, as prisoners in chains. They will fall to their knees, in front of you and say: ‘God is with you, and he is the only God. There is no other.’ ” Truly, O God of Israel, our Savior, you work in mysterious ways. All craftsmen, who make idols, will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced, together. But the Lord will save the people of Israel, with eternal salvation. Throughout everlasting ages, Israel will never again be humiliated and disgraced. For the Lord is God, and he created the heavens and earth, and He put everything in place. He made the world, to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. “I am the Lord,” he says, “and there is no other. I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities, in some dark corner. I would not have told the people, of...
