TO BE BLESSED OR NOT

Jer 44:16-17
16 "As for the message that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we are not going to listen to you! NASU
** God clearly draws a line in the sand and then describes the blessings and cursings of each decision. I would say that I’m amazed at how these people commit to Jeremiah to do whatever the Lord tells them to do and then when he gives the message to them, they say their not going to do it, but I’m not surprised at all. Why? Because people have been doing that from the beginning of time. All we have to do Is open the bible and see that God says thru His word that if we do this or that…. We will be blessed and if we do this or that…. We will be cursed. So every day each of us have an opportunity to be blessed or curse by our obedience or disobedience to God’s word. The problem lies with those who love to sin. They love doing what their doing and no matter what God’s word says and no matter how many preachers, teachers, evangelist say, they have already decided to live their life of sin no matter what the consequences. So who wins? The obedient…. Those who hear the Word of God and obey. Today, I choose to be blessed!

Me too, PD! This morning I was wondering how I would make it to payday and just told the Lord that I entrusted all to Him. I would just go to work and not stress over it. I got to work and went to buy my coffee for the morning and guess what? The girls at my coffee shop blessed me with a "coffee gift card", two pounds of coffee beans and a box of lovely tea. I had run out of coffee over the weekend. I was overwhelmed that the Lord put on their hearts to do this wonderful thing (and none of them are Christians as far as I know). I took the opportunity to witness to them about the Lord (and make sure He got the glory!) Amazing! Amazing! how He listens to us and makes sure we are provided for. And being obedient is definitely part of the package.

Have a blessed day!

Always in His strong Grip,

Roxanne
