A challenge was put out to read the Word daily and to put
our thoughts on our readings up on our social media sites. Well, I love any excuse to put
my thoughts about the Lord up for people to see. You really had to twist my arm
there!
Today I read Deuteronomy 28:1-14:
This and other books of the Old Testament {OT} used to be
very difficult reads for me because I didn't know how to rightly divide the
Word and would put myself in the wrong place. But now I love to search through
the OT to find the many blessings that are 'hidden' there.
Deut. 28 is one of the greatest blessings in the OT. It
says...
You will be blessed in the city, the country, the fruit of
your womb, crop of your hands, livestock, your basket, kneading bowl, when you
come in, when you go out...man this is a thorough blessing!
My favorite part is verse 7.
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you
will be defeated before you. They will come in one way...but they will flee
from you in seven....talk about scattering the enemy!
{I also love to meditate on verse 7 before my Tae Kwon Do workout...KIIIYA!}
Some people believe that the blessings of the OT are just
for the Jews. I beg to differ but I won't get into that now. I have heard a lot
on this and other topics from a wide range of pastors and preachers such as Derek Prince,
Joseph Prince, Charles Stanley, Erwin Lutzer and others.
So you may not believe it but I do and I claim it! And if
you don't want your portion of it, give it to me! LOL! God is so good He just might!
You are a child of the Most
High God and He has blessed you richly.
Claim it! Live it! And teach others to do the same, so that
the name of the Lord Jesus will be praised richly.
Amen!
