2 And ALL (No Limit) these BLESSINGS SHALL COME UPON YOU AND OVERTAKE YOU if you heed/obey the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition AMPC
I like the older translation of this verse at the beginning of Deuteronomy 28, the chapter on ‘Blessings and Curses’. The Blessings shall ‘Come upon You and Overtake You’. It’s interesting to think that the Blessings of God will Overtake those who are living in accordance with His will. Something or someone will release Blessings upon the truly righteous and sooner or later they will Come upon us. The ‘Watershed’, or dividing line, will be those who hear and obey God’s Voice (My sheep hear My Voice and I know them and they follow Me: John 10:27) Religion won’t do it, nor will respectability. The sole requirement is to ‘Hear the voice of the Lord/ Good Shepherd and follow Him.
7 Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT AND ONLY THAT IS WHAT HE WILL REAP. Galatians 6:7 AMPC
Whatever farmers sow in the natural, that’s what they expect to reap. They don’t expect to put in one kind of seed and reap something different. However, many people live their lives on this earth doing their own thing (Sowing to their flesh) and expecting God to overlook it and bless them. This kind of thinking is delusional, the verse above tells us that God will not be mocked. He knows our intentions and motives far better than we can imagine.
KEEP THE DOOR OPEN FOR GOD TO BLESS YOU AND THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO BLESS OTHERS.
Don’t think of yourself as small and insignificant, no matter who we are there will always be opportunities for us to bless others in need who cross our paths. Don’t miss the opportunity to sow blessings, for in time we will certainly attract the blessing of God upon our lives as we do. God’s Blessings Will Come Upon us and Overtake Us as we sow kindness and goodness to those around us. God wants to bless us with ABUNDANCE, but devil wants to rob, kill and destroy. John 10:10
Live your life to be a blessing and all the blessings of Heaven will overtake you. God cannot lie, His word is sure.
May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
