Deuteronomy 28:2-3 (NKJV) 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: 3 “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
How are we blessed? By obeying the voice of God!
Everyone wants to be blessed in one way or another. We all have needs, wants and desires.
Many times we spend all of our time and energy focusing on trying to make specific things happen or come to pass.
Work is good. We need to be willing to work for what we have and what we want. The Bible says that if someone doesn’t work, they shouldn’t eat.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NKJV) 10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
But we also need to make sure we’re not leaving out a key ingredient in the recipe for receiving blessings; obeying God’s voice.
Obeying God is the key to everything about our lives when it comes to “success”. No, it’s not a magic formula that just makes stuff happen or things appear. But it’s the key to pleasing God.
And, as a believer, pleasing God should be our primary goal in everything that we do.
So we need to put God first in everything, learn to hear His voice and then obey that voice. In doing that, we will be blessed!
