A Place to Rest

Read Deuteronomy 28-29
 
Deuteronomy 28:1-5 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. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock – the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. 5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
 
FEEL the warmth of a blanket come over you on a cool, rainy night. You have been working outdoors, and you are chilled. You want to sit down in a good chair and have something warm to drink. The day is done. The family is safe, and it is time to relax. You have what you need to rest well, and so you do.
    This scripture is like that, don’t you think? God is covering his people with himself. He is offering to them all they need to rest well in him. There is first the covering of spiritual blessing, “You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country” – blessed wherever you are. There’s also the protection of physical blessing. “Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.” When you truly believe in God and fully believe God, you will joyfully obey his commands. He promises then, that you will know his blanket of blessing always covers you.
 
Relax and Know: God’s warm love is over you forever.
 
I have added a video teaching: Paul lives into Jesus’ resurrection power. https://youtu.be/ImFlrWQQOB4
