� Jun. 24, 2005 - God Wants to Bless Us
| "Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land which you cross over to possess, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the Lord swore to give your fathers, to them and their descendants, 'a land flowing with milk and honey.' For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year. 'And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.' Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them, lest the Lord's anger be aroused against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
Deuteronomy 11:8-17 (NKJV) Emphasis is mine.
Thank you, Heavenly Father for the blessings that you have bestowed upon me and my family. We are forever grateful for all that you have given to us. We do not deserve the outpouring of grace, forgiveness and love that you have provided us with yet you bless us anyway. Keep us ever mindful that all that we have and all that we are able to do comes from you and only you. Keep gratitude in our hearts and greed and pride far from us.
We thank you for your abundant provisions for our family. You want to bless us and provide for us and we are in awe of all that you do. We are your children and no father would want to do any less for his children. We do realize, though, Lord that with provision comes responsibility. We demonstrate our gratitude by following your commands and never idolizing another above you. Keep us pure of heart Lord and may we forever follow you.
In Jesus name we pray. |
