Plenteous in goods

“And the Lord shall make you plenteous in goods, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore unto your fathers to give you.  The Lord shall open unto you His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto your land in His season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend unto many nations, and you shall not borrow.  And the Lord shall make you the head and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you hearken unto the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day to observe and to do them” (Deuteronomy 28:11-13).  Even though we do not see our material needs in quite the same way that Israel did, the promises of God are just as relevant today as they were then.  Once we make the choice to serve God with all of our hearts and with all of our substance, He will bless everything that we put our hands to.

We serve a good God who desires above all things for us to be blessed and walking in the fulfilled promises He has given us in His Word.  As we walk in obedience we are laying a spiritual foundation for our children and children’s children.  Preparing the way for a godly heritage insures that not only will we receive good treasure but we will become His good treasure.
