Heart Blessings

Deuteronomy 28:1-12
God expected diligent obedience from the Israelites. The result of such obedience would be, “All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 28:2). In light of these words of hope God’s people, the Israelites, were to respond with faith, action, and resolve. As with them, hope for us is that beautiful thread that flows from our hearts to the very heart of God. It may seem fragile at first glance; looked at through the eyes of faith, hope becomes a mighty flowing river.
In Deuteronomy 28:12 we see that what follows God’s hopeful promise is blessing. It is hard to imagine that there could be even more, nevertheless the promises continue to flow throughout this passage of scripture. These promises brought exhilarating, resounding joy into the lives of God’s people.
God has not changed! This day and forward, through our faith in God’s promise, we can experience hope and the blessings reserved for hearts obedient to God’s Word.
