Deuteronomy 28:15-68
Just as God promises to bless us beyond measure for our obedience, He is a just God, and there are consequences for our disobedience. It's so easy to read this and judge the Israelites, wondering how they could disobey with such steep consequences clearly laid out. Then I realize, I'm the same way. God may not send me a prophet to explain all of the horrible consequences to me, but God does expect me to obey. I may not be exiled, but I do distance myself from my Creator when I choose not to obey His plan.
Luke 18:1-30
Love the persistent widow. May we all be persistent about the things of God and bringing them before His throne.
I also love the story of the rich ruler. I find comfort in the last part when Jesus lets us know that the things we give up for God's purposes are not given in vain. God will bless us--our sacrifices don't go unnoticed!
Psalm 47:1-9
Praise God! He alone is worthy of our praise!
