Commanded to Be Blessed

Sep 11, 2021

Today’s Scripture

Deuteronomy 28:8, NKJVThe LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

Today’s Word

When we honor God with our lives and do our best to keep Him first place, the Scripture says He will command His blessing to come on us. When God commands His blessing, it’s not “maybe it will happen,” or “I hope it happens,” or “if the circumstances come together.” No, when God commands, there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. It’s going to happen.

When God said, “Let there be light,” He didn’t check the circumstances on earth or have experts analyze it to see if light was possible. He simply spoke the words by command and light came at 186,000 miles per second, and nothing could stop it. In a similar way, when God commands you to be blessed, He doesn’t check what family you come from, where you work, who likes you, or how good the economy is. None of that matters to God. All the circumstances can be against you. But when He commands the blessing, all the forces of darkness cannot stop Him.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for Your promise that as I honor You, blessings are headed my way and overtaking me. Thank You that nothing can stop the power of Your commanded blessing. I believe that despite whatever my circumstances may say that I will be blessed. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
