Delight In God's Goodness Now

Deuteronomy 28:2-6 

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken 

unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and 

blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, 

and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase 

of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy 

basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou 

comest in, and blessed shalt thou 

be when thou goest out"

    These opening verses contain the Beatitudes of the Old Testament. They have their counterparts in the New. Remember that God bends over your life, rejoicing to do you good, and finding pleasure in whatever may enrich your life or flow through it to enrich others. Ask especially that in His great power and grace He shall smite your enemies before you, and establish you unto Himself, and open to you His good treasure. If you are in Christ, all things are yours. Possess your possessions,
    Notice that the blessings are placed before the curses. God is slow to anger, but swift to show mercy; He has said it, and sworn, that He would much rather we would obey and live than sin and die. It is His delight to bless. Both the promises and the threatenings are designed to bring and hold us to our duty, yet it is better that we be attracted to that which is good by a devoted hope of God's favor and delight in God's goodness, Now!!
    We as Christians should be just as determined, to stand up, step out, and spread The Gospel of Jesus Christ; no matter what is before us, or what we must suffer in the name of Jesus Christ and The Glory of God!  
Amen!!
