Today we are going to study "Obedience to the Lord." In Deuteronomy 30:1 it says to obey His voice, you and your children with all your heart and soul that the Lord you God will bring you back from captivity and have compassion on you. And he will gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you. He will bring you to the land your fathers possessed and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul that you might live. Also the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you and who persecute you. But obey the voice of the Lord and do all his commandments which is commanded this day. He will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. The Lord will rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced in your fathers, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statues which are written in this Book of the Law. And if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.
In Deuteronomy 28:15 it says if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe His commandments and His statues which is commanded, then all these curses will come upon you and over take you. You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. Cursed will be the fruit of your body and produce of your land, increase of your cattle and offspring of your flocks. Cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out. The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion and rebuke in all you set your hand to do until you are destroyed because od the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken the Lord.
In Matthew 21:28 is the story of 2 sons. One son obeyed the father and the other didn't. Jesus said it's easier for a corrupt tax collector and prostitutes to get into the kingdom of Heaven than for a liar. John the Baptist showed the way of life and you didn't believe but a tax collector you did and still didn't turn from your sins and believe Him. So call upon the Lord this day and repent of your sins and ask the Lord Jesus into your heart and let Him cleanse you of all unrighteousness this day. He will take you and make you whole again. He will in no wise cast you out. Let His loving kindness come into your heart and guide you so these blessings will be in you today. This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that God Loves You and wants you to come unto Him.
