Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15, If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God...; However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you...

 

This chapter details the blessings that will come upon the Israelites if they obey the laws that God has given them.  It also lists the curses that will come upon them if they fail to obey the laws and uphold their side of the covenant.  God would reveal himself through the people of Israel.  He would do this by blessing them so much that the rest of the world would know God blessed them or he would curse them so much that the rest of the world would know God cursed them. One way or another, God would be revealed.

 

While we live on the other side of the cross under a new covenant, God still wants to reveal himself to us.  We see the hand of God in so many things: a sunset, answered prayer, a strong conviction, a word from God as we pray or read Scripture, or simply his supernatural comfort and presence.  How has God revealed himself to you this week?  Make sure you share this with at least one other person in your life. 

 

Let's pray...God, Thank you for showing up in our lives in so many ways.  Help us be watching and waiting for your revelation.  In Your Name, Amen.
