Deuteronomy 12:28 “Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.”
Over and over, we are instructed to Observe and OBEY God’s commands. The call to obey God’s Word often reveals the bountiful blessings that come to those who obey. These blessings not only come to the one obeying but extend to their children. Let that sink in. You can bring future blessings to your family with present obedience!
As believers, we have to make decisions about what actions to take. As we receive the instruction from Scripture there must be APPLICATION. It is worth noting that even before deciding to make the decision, we have to decide what will guide our decision-making. In Judges 21:25 we read that “every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” On the other hand, Jesus said in John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
Is your decision-making guided by what is right in your sight or what is right in God’s sight? Does SELF guide or does the SAVIOR guide your decision-making?
Let’s review. The call of Deuteronomy 12:28 is a call to commit to LEARNING the Word by careful observation followed by LIVING in OBEDIENCE to the Word! Obeying God’s requirements brings God’s rewards.
Blessings follow obedience!
Blessings come your way and not just to you but to your children! Your obedience today will impact far more than you! Remember Proverbs 20:7. It says, “The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.”
Observe and obey God’s Word for there is no other way to live.
Continue Strong Doing Right In His Sight,
And remember to DATE The Word
