Here’s a heavy weekend reading for us to ponder.
God ‘s promises to His people were often presented as “if-then” statements, meaning that they were conditional. God promised Israel blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience.
There are lessons for EVERY nation that respects the Bible.
“Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your Godand are careful to follow all his commands I am giving you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come and overtake you, because you obey the Lord your God:
You will be blessed in the city
and blessed in the country.
Your offspring will be blessed,
and your land’s produce,
and the offspring of your livestock,
including the young of your herds
and the newborn of your flocks.
Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you come in
and blessed when you go out. The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions. The Lord will grant you a blessing on your barns and on everything you do; he will bless you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 28: 1-9 (CSB).
It is worthwhile for every Believer to read the entire chapter. I believe it speaks to what we have experienced in America.
Please pray for President Trump and Melania.
Pray for the President’s health, discernment, patience, and spiritual growth or as the Lord leads you.
Pray for those whom God has placed around him. May they be as bold as lions when there is a need to deliver warnings.
Pray that God will raise up and rekindle the faith of any of us who are tired and wavering.
Fresh fire for everyone who believes that prayer can change hearts, minds, and nations.
Amen!
Greetings 👋
Our God has high standards, but fortunately for us the blood of Christ covers us through his freely given grace and mercy. Be encouraged my friend!
“Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the Lord,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.” Psalm 15: 1-5 (NLT).
