Day 15 Deuteronomy 23-34

Deuteronomy 28

 ^1-6 If you listen obediently to the Voice of God, your God, and heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, God, your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of the world. All these blessings will come down on you and spread out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of God, your God: 

   God's blessing inside the city, 
   God's blessing in the country; 
   God's blessing on your children, 
      the crops of your land, 
      the young of your livestock, 
      the calves of your herds, 
      the lambs of your flocks. 
   God's blessing on your basket and bread bowl; 
   God's blessing in your coming in, 
   God's blessing in your going out.

There are many rules laid forth in the book of Deuteronomy that just are not being applied today.  We changed the rules because we didn't like them.  We put our own will above HIS.  


When we take time and truly look into our behaviors - are we doing what we should?  The Bible has strict rules against adultery, murder, theft, lies, etc.  And yet, many of the people who commit such acts often go without punishment by their peers.  


All I can say is that my GOD is a loving and forgiving GOD.  He has put in place a chance for us to receive His love and forgiveness.  However, while we say we love and believe in Him, our actions should reflect that as well.  It's in the Bible, it's in His teachings.  He wants everyone to walk away from the sin they commit, daily ask for forgiveness, and draw closer to Him.  When we do this, we find His blessings for us.
