Sat.’s Devo - The Blessings

Read: Deut. 28:1-68, Luke 11:14-36, Ps. 77:1-20, Pr. 12:18 I love to read the blessings but it would take an idiot to want the curses. To say they are extremely opposite would be a fair assumption. It makes you wonder how they could hear the blessings and not want them. But, they did hear them and they didn’t do what it took to keep them. How like them we are. We know these are our blessings, yet we choose to live in some of the curses because of fear, our past, unbelief, etc. By the time Jesus came to earth, the nation of Israel had so fallen into the curses side that He called them an evil generation. He told us how to stay full of light - keep our vision full of light. That means to watch what you let into your understanding. When you meditate on the Word of God and on His ways, then everything you see is from God’s perspective. What is going on in the world doesn’t affect you because You know who holds the universe and orchestrates the affairs of man. God’s ways are holy and right. We can trust in God. Lord, we choose to walk in your blessings even in the midst of a perverse generation just as You did. We depend totally on Your grace and mercy.
