and blessed in the country.
4The fruit of your womb will be blessed,
as well as the produce of your land
and 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.
7The LORD will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you in one direction but flee from you in seven.
8The LORD will decree a blessing on your barns and on everything to which you put your hand; the LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you. 9The LORD will establish you as His holy people, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. 10Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you.
11The LORD will make you prosper abundantly—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land—in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
12The LORD will open the heavens, His abundant storehouse, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none.
13The LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward, if you hear and carefully follow the commandments of the LORD your God, which I am giving you today. 14Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from any of the words I command you today, and do not go after other gods to serve them.
I know that this scripture seems like a lot in our fast paced world but we can’t digest and grasp ALL these blessings without ALL of these verses. ALL the Israelites had to do was keep the ALL the commandments and not to go after other gods. ALL MEANS ALL!
The Lord would bless them and use the nation to glorify Himself.
1 Kings 10:1-13 1Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions…….
9Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
I am not a rich man but I have been blessed by the Lord for my faith in Jesus Christ. It was It was HIM who gave us ALL the blessings of grace, mercy and salvation.
Have you counted ALL your blessings today?
Blessings
