Blessed you shall be
Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
Deuteronomy 28:3
Our God is a God of blessing. From the beginning of creation, His desire has always been to bless His people. In Deuteronomy 28, God reveals His heart toward His children. He wants them to prosper and walk in His favor, whether in the city or in the countryside, in every part of life. His blessings are not limited by location or circumstance; they flow from His covenant of love and faithfulness.
However, these blessings are not automatic. The preceding verses remind us that they come through obedience: “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God…” (Deut. 28:1). To receive His blessings, we must align our hearts with His Word, walk in His ways, and trust His promises. Obedience opens the door for God’s blessings to flow freely into our lives.
When you make God your priority. When you seek Him first, honor His commands, and live in humility, He blesses the work of your hands, your homes, your families, and your future. Blessed shall you be.
Reflection:
Am I walking in obedience to God’s Word, or am I seeking blessings without surrendering to the Blesser? God’s blessings follow obedience. Take time today to realign your heart, renew your commitment to His will, and trust that He will bless you wherever you are.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being a God of blessing and faithfulness. I thank You that Your desire is to bless me in every area of my life. Help me to walk in obedience to Your Word and to honor You in all I do. Teach me to seek You above all else, knowing that every blessing flows from You. Let Your favor rest upon me in the city and in the countryside, in my work and in my home. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
