Deuteronomy 28:1Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God:
3You will be blessed in the city
and blessed in the country.
4The fruit of your womb will be blessed,
and the produce of your land,
the offspring of your livestock,
the calves of your herds,
and the lambs of your flocks.
5Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.
6You will be blessed when you come in
and blessed when you go out.
The Lord blesses us in so many ways we just don’t realize the full extent of all His blessings! When we meet Him we will become aware of all the blessings we were oblivious to.
A couple weeks ago while driving to church we hit a deer, we weren’t hurt and the appraiser said we were very lucky as it was the least amount of damage from a deer collision he has ever seen. The insurance company was great. The car was repaired and it looked great. I’ve been trying to convince my spouse that she needed an all wheel drive car because we live in the snow belt. We went car shopping when her car was in the collision shop.
Then we heard about the Costco Car Buying Program, $1000 below dealer invoice. The manufacturer was offering a rebate with 0% financing.
I advertised her car for sale and it sold in hours to a Christian lady that had been looking for seven months!
We prayed about the new car and asked God to close the door if it wasn’t what he wanted.
He blessed us!
On the way home (3 hour drive) with the new car we stopped and ate lunch with my older sister in her office and later we stopped at a cider mill. While we shared a cider slushy, Cecilia ate a fresh donut and I looked up and saw bible quotes on the wooden beam that spanned the room!
All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you.
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
Blessings to you! David
