Overtaken with Blessings
God promised the Israelites that if they obeyed Him blessings would overtake them. God loves to bless His people but often it is our own disobedience that stands in the way. Jesus also noted that those who obeyed God’s Word would be blessed. So take time to draw near to Him, and allow the Holy Spirit to show you any areas of your life that may not be right before Him. He wants you to be overtaken by His abundant blessings.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,220
We all seek God's blessing on our lives, but boy, wouldn't we like for the blessings
2
00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:10,840
of God to overtake us in life?
3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,980
Well, welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional when I try to share just a little
4
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:21,400
inspiration and bring a little peace to the close of your very busy week.
5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:29,020
You know, in Deuteronomy 28, it says, all these blessings will come upon you and overtake
6
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:33,840
you if you obey the Lord your God.
7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Now I want to talk today about attaining greater blessing in our lives, but I want to be very
8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,760
clear.
9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,840
I'm not talking about salvation and being saved.
10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,740
That is through the work of Jesus on the tree.
11
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:52,640
It is not attained by any works that we might do.
12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,360
But God does ask us to walk in obedience with Him.
13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:05,600
It's our way of expressing our love for Him, our worship for Him, that we want to be good
14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,240
children, but we want to walk in fellowship with Him and His Holy Spirit.
15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,960
And that only happens when we're walking in obedience with Him, living the way He has
16
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,200
told us to live.
17
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Even Jesus said in Luke 11, 28, Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it.
18
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:35,440
So our obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit is really key to our walking in blessing
19
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,640
and seeing the blessings of God overtake our lives.
20
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,760
So this weekend as you take a little Shabbat Shalom rest, why don't you think about the
21
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,560
areas in your life that maybe need a little bit greater obedience?
22
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,800
What are those areas the Holy Spirit would like to highlight in your life and say, let's
23
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:04,560
work on this area because God wants to pour out His blessings upon you.
24
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,760
He wants His blessings in your life to overtake you.
25
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,240
So take time.
26
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, that you can walk in the blessings that He has ordained
27
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,720
for you.
28
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,480
And with that, I want to wish you Shabbat Shalom.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,220
