Deuteronomy 28:2-3 (NKJV) 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: 3 \u201cBlessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.<\/p>\n
How are we blessed? By obeying the voice of God!<\/p>\n
Everyone wants to be blessed in one way or another. We all have needs, wants and desires.<\/p>\n
Many times we spend all of our time and energy focusing on trying to make specific things happen or come to pass.<\/p>\n
Work is good. We need to be willing to work for what we have and what we want. The Bible says that if someone doesn’t work, they shouldn’t eat.<\/p>\n
2 Thessalonians 3:10 (NKJV) 10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.<\/p>\n
But we also need to make sure we’re not leaving out a key ingredient in the recipe for receiving blessings; obeying God’s voice.<\/p>\n
Obeying God is the key to everything about our lives when it comes to “success”. No, it’s not a magic formula that just makes stuff happen or things appear. But it’s the key to pleasing God.<\/p>\n
And, as a believer, pleasing God should be our primary goal in everything that we do.<\/p>\n
So we need to put God first in everything, learn to hear His voice and then obey<\/i> that voice. In doing that, we will be blessed!<\/p>\n
