Deuteronomy chapter 28, verse 2.

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you obey the voice of the

Lord your God.

Is that not an awesome verse?

Is that an incredible promise? God telling his people that blessing will come upon them and listen to the phrase will overtake them

when they obey the voice of the Lord their God. Don't you want to be overtaken by the blessing of God? Don't you want to

describe your life today, and tomorrow, the next day, the next day this way, I'm overtaken by

his blessing as I walk with God. And that's the key. How do you experience blessing like this?

You listen to and you obey the voice of the Lord. This is so good.

God's word brings life. God's word brings blessing. God's word brings a life that's overtaken by blessing.

Just meditate on that today. We would be foolish to do anything but live fully obedient as fully obedient as possible

by God's grace and the power of your spirit in us. Help us to obey your word in every way today,

knowing that obeying your voice, oh God, will lead to being overtaken by your blessing. Yes,

we pray, God, may it be so. I pray this over my life and at every single

person listening right now. I don't know, obviously, all that's going on in their life today,

but I pray that they would be overtaken by your blessing today as they walk with you. Help them to walk

in step with your spirit according to your word. God help them to be careful to obey you.

Every thought, every desire, every action, every interaction with others. And as they do, may they be

overtaken by your blessing. Oh, and God, we pray that you would help us to lead others to be overtaken

by your blessing. Help us to encourage others with your word in ways that will lead to blessing in

their lives. We pray you help us to build up brothers and sisters in Christ in this way.
