SCRIPTURE:
‘ I’ll bless you, oh- how I’ll bless you! And I’ll make sure your children flourish- like stars in the sky! Like sand on the beaches! And your descendents will defeat their enemies! All nations will find themselves blessed through your descendents because you obey me.’ Genesis 22:17, 18.
OBSERVATION:
I am amazed at the breadth and scope of this promise that God gave Abraham for his family. But the key to receiving this promise is obedience.
APPLICATION:
When we walk in obedience to God, He WILL bless us. Obedience will lead to the most thrilling life ever imagined!! But it happens one day at a time. I don’t sit around waitng for God to speak one life altering command. I learn to do the little things He asks of me. I claim the blessing of my obedience in the generation to come. My children (either physical or spiritual) will be the beneficiaries of my obedience. I want to make covenant with God concerning these little ones, marking them for God and declaring that each succeeding generation will do greater things for God than the last.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to obey and walk in your ways. I thank you that as I commit to being obedient my children will receive a double portion.
