Day 51 – See, it all comes down to this….it is our choice whether we receive life, death, good or evil. He has set them all before us, and the decision we make to either love and follow Him with all our heart or turn away from Him and follow the world will guide our future, our blessings and our curses.
Todays Reading : Deuteronomy 26 – 30
Deuteronomy 30:15-16 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.”
Over the past 6 months God has been stretching me with the demands of working on our family farm and becoming extremely involved in my children’s activities and school, specifically driving them here and there and everywhere. Honestly, I don’t know which is more exhausting! But God has seen me through both and blessed each one tremendously.
You see, He only reveals to us what we need to know and how it all turns out is a secret He keeps. “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29
However, He promises if we follow His commandments He will surely bless us and not curse us. And God has given this same covenant to all who are willing to listen to Him and obey Him and love Him with all of their heart, soul, and mind. He will lead us through every wilderness not allowing us to get worn out, but instead strengthening us for the future. Everything we need to know and speak is right here…in our heart….from His Word…found in His great Book.
Let me encourage you today, no matter if you follow these readings, keep reading! I am! “But the Word is very near to you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.” Deuteronomy 30:14 And I’m also praying and meditating on what He has for me. If you need an extra prayer, let me know. I promise to lift you up to the Lord because YOU are also one of God’s great plans for me at this time!
