Blessings for Obedience

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, theLord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on youand accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lordyour God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

It is extremely important for us to be obedient and show action when God gives us his instructions to follow. The blessings were put here before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy. It is his delight to bless. It is better that we should be drawn to what is good by a child-like hope of God's favour, than that we be frightened to it by a slavish fear of his wrath. The blessing is promised, upon condition that we diligently hearken to the voice of God.We are to keep up religion, the form and power of it, in our families and nation, then the providence of God would prosper all our outward concerns.

I MUST REMAIN OBEDIENT, EVEN WHEN I DON'T WANT TOO!! AMEN AMEN AAGGAAPPEE!!:):)

Praises, when I obey my Father the blessing flows. I must continue to Pray, have Faith, Love, Forgiveness, Give, walk in gifts He have given me which is the Fruit of the Spirits. Also the calling of an Evangelist. I thank Him for the Wisdom and Courage to do His Will.

You cannot obtain none of the promises of God, and none of the blessings from the Lord, unless you are absolutely obedient to follow the instructions that he has given to his redeemed. Favor, blessings, and promises all come with a price, and it adds up to obedience.

The blessings or promises of God are not just claimable through prayers but through obedience to his words. How funny God can be; He gives an instruction to claim the blessing. In our reading He said we should obey and truly follow Him. Today I recive the grace to obey Oh Lord! Any of your instructions so as to connect to the blessing in the name of Jesus. Amen
