S. Leviticus 26:3-5 (NIV)
3 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
6 “‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. 7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. 8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
9 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. 11 I will put my dwelling place[a] among you, and I will not abhor you. 12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
O. God desires to bless His people. He wants so much for us to enjoy the life He has prepared for us. He promises not only spiritual blessing but often physical or material blessing as we follow His ways (laws, decrees, statutes, Word, etcl).
God’s ways are good ways because God is good, holy, just, righteous and love. It isn’t that God wants us to follow Him because He is selfish and wants our adoration for His own self actualization or that He is narcissistic, rather, because He good, holy, just, righteous, love (and much more), He knows that if we walk close to Him and follow His lead, we receive such blessing. He puts in place a life that produces more blessing. Thus, the voice of more.
A. God desires to be the “voice of more” to us. I desire to walk closely to Him, to be LIKE Him and to produce much fruit and in turn bless others and be the “voice of more” to others.
P. Thank you Father for your word today. Thank you Jesus for your love and the complete salvation that you have secured for us along with the hope of being with you for eternity. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to have such a close walk with the Father and the Son, the Lord Jesus that I enjoy such blessing that overflows to others. In Jesus’ name!
