6 Blessings God Wants to Give You
May 29, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day. And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. Deuteronomy 11:26-28
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What a thought! God sets before us this day two alternatives: a blessing and a curse. What determines whether or not you receive the blessing? If you obey. What determines that you’ll receive the curse instead? If you disobey.
God has 6 blessings to give you today in exchange for your obedience:
plenty (Isaiah 1:19-20)
peace (Jeremiah 26:13)
protection (Exodus 23:22)
power (Acts 5:32)
purity (1 Peter 1:22)
perception (Psalm 119:100)
ACTION POINT:
Do you want Jesus to be real to you, not just someone you know or read about? Maybe you want to do more than just “pray” to Him; perhaps you want to talk to Him, and you want to relate to Him. Then read John 14:23 and obey Him.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
