THEN

Today's reading: Deuteronomy 26-28

"Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the Lord, and they will stand in awe of you." Deuteronomy 28:10 NLT

In order to fully grasp the blessing God intends for His people, we must look back to the 'IF' of this promise of His,,,

"If you fully obey the Lord your God by keeping all the commands I am giving you today..." Deuteronomy 28:1 NLT

It's not church attendance that's going to get us applause from heaven.

It's not the size of the donation you give to the church that will heap blessings upon your life.

It's not that your church membership is mentioned in your obituary that will bring about God's welcome into His pearly gates.

What blesses our lives...

What causes His face to smile...

What fulfills the purpose we were created for...

What allows the world to take notice of our lives...

Is our obedience to God and His commands.

Nothing else.
