Today is Wednesday, February 26, 2020 and here is your Daily Devo.
We often want the “blessings” of obedience without gladly living in obedience. In other words, we want the blessings without the cost. It’s demonic because it’s what the enemy of our soul loves to offer and how he attempts to lead hearts astray (Matt. 16:21-23). This is visible in the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4. Satan offered Jesus the world’s kingdoms if Jesus would bow to him. But, a glorious inheritance and exaltation would be due to Jesus after He made purification for sin, sitting down at the right hand of the Father (Heb. 1:3-4). There was a glorious blessing and exaltation to be experienced through obedience, even obedience to the point of dying on a cross (Phil. 2:5-9). Though obedience might prove difficult and might seem like it leads to curse for a season, ultimately obedience leads to blessing both in the case of Jesus and in the case of God’s people.
Think about this: How should Christians understand the promise that God would bless Israel if they obey? How might this be misunderstood and misapplied? What are some ways you are intentionally seeking bless others with your time, talents, and treasures?
