Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours - Psalm 128:1,2.
We are so blessed when we walk in obedience to God. Abraham obeyed God when God called him to leave his home and country. Abraham obeyed God and left all he had for a land he knew not of - Genesis12:4. Abraham obeyed God by faith without even knowing where he was going. By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going - Hebrews 11:8.
Also,
Abraham obeyed God’s command to sacrifice Isaac. When they arrived at the place
where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on
it. Then he tied his son, Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood -
Genesis 22:9. God blessed Abraham and his descendants as he obeyed Him. And I
will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your
descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth
shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My
commandments, My statutes, and My laws - Genesis 26:4,5.
Isaac
obeyed God when he was told by God not to go down to Egypt but to stay in
Gerar. As Isaac obeyed God, he got hundredfold of blessings at that place
during the time of famine. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the
same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper,
and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had
possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants -
Genesis 26:12-14. Isaiah 1:19 says, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall
eat the good of the land.” Let us obey God with faith and receive the abundant
blessings of God.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to walk in
obedience to You by faith. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
