Deuteronomy 26:1 - 28:14
God promises to bless us when we obey. Why is it so hard for us, then, to obey when we have such a great reward waiting for us? I know for me, it's sometimes hard to believe that the struggle I will endure in obeying will be worth the blessing, whatever it may be. It's a trust issue--trusting that God has my best in mind. Chapter 28 is a great reminder that He does have my (our) best in mind.

What a statement of gratitude it was for the lone Samaritan to come back and thank Jesus. That action spoke volumes about his character. What are my actions speaking about my character? Ouch!
What a mighty God we serve! Nothing is beyond His abilities or His notice. Even with this majestic, thunderous God, He calls us to "be still" and know Him. Be still.
