Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all his commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above the nations of the earth and all these blessings shall overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:1-2

My brothers and sisters in Christ, the year is new and it’s time for a fresh start. God is getting ready to do mighty things in your life and mine, but we must be prepared to be obedient to him. He has promised, that, if we obey  his commandments, that we will be blessed in the city and the country, the fruit of our bodies will be blessed as well as the produce of the ground, he will increase our offsprings; blessed shall be our baskets and kneading bowls, blessed we shall be when we come in and when we go out, the Lord will cause our enemies who rise against us to be defeated, they shall come at us one way and flee seven ways, the Lord will command the blessings on us in our storehouses and in all that we set out hands to. The Lord will establish us as a holy people to himself, just as he has sworn to us, if we keep his commandments. Is this not worth being obedient to God? I don’t know about you, but I will strive every day to be obedient to God and reap my blessings. Help us, Lord!
