Obedience Brings Blessing
"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."
~ Deuteronomy 12:28
"Though salvation is not by the works of the law, yet the blessings that are promised to obedience are not denied to the faithful servants of God.
We are to note and listen to the revealed will of the Lord, giving our attention not to portions of it, but to "all these words." There must be no picking and choosing, but a respect to all that God has commanded. This is the road of blessedness. The Lord's blessing is upon His chosen to the third and fourth generation. If they walk uprightly before Him, He will make all men know that they are a seed that the Lord has blessed.
No blessing can come to us through dishonesty or double-dealing. The ways of worldly conformity and unholiness cannot bring good. It will go well with us when we go well before God. That which gives pleasure to God will bring pleasure to us." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME THIS MORNING. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. FORGIVE US OF ALL OUR SINS, OUR DEBTS, AND OUR TRESPASSES AGAINST YOU AND MAN. AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE INDEBTED TO US, AND THOSE WHO HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL:FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE HONOR, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER. IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!
