4 Things That Bring Blessing In Your Life

Scripture:  Deuteronomy 11:26-28   “See, I am setting before you today a blessings and a curse ----- the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the command of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.”
 I want to share four things with you today that will bring blessings rather than curses in your life. They are remember, love God, obey God, and worship only God.  Today we I want you to remember.   
I. Remember
At the beginning of chapter 11 Moses reminds the people to remember all that God had done for them.  He tells them to remember that their children were not there they didn’t see and experience the discipline of the Lord.  They didn’t experience His majesty, His mighty hand, His outstretched arm and the miracles He performed.   They didn’t experience God’s deliverance from the mean old Pharaoh and the Egyptians.  They were not there when God turned the Red Sea into a highway and allowed the Israelites to cross but looked back to see Pharaoh’s army drowning in approximately three feet of water.  Their children didn’t know anything about the manna and water God provided for them in the desert.  It was their responsibility to remember and make sure their children know that God always had and always would bless them if they obeyed His commands.  Moses tells them that remembering what God has done will give them the strength to move into the blessed places God had in store for them. 
Likewise God wants us to remember all that He’s done for us.  He’s holding us accountable to tell younger generations about the mighty God we serve.  He never wants us to forget all that He’s been and all that He’s done for us.  There will be days that we will get weary.  There will be days that we feel like we just can’t go on.  But God!  When you take a look back and think about where God has brought you from you receive strength to press on a little while longer.  He tells us not to get weary in well doing we’ll reap if we faint not. Remember!
