Weekly Bible Verse – God is the Source of All Blessing
Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today. If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. Deuteronomy 7:11-13 (NIV)
This week’s Bible verse is a simple reminder of who is in control of everything (hint: it’s God). Yes, it is a simple truth but one that I think we need to remind ourselves of occasionally. Of course, most God-honoring people know that God “blesses” but I think sometimes we lose sight of the specifics of what or how He blesses us. That’s why this is our weekly verse…
Not only does God bless us in a generic sense but he also blesses materially as well. He will bless “the crops of your land, … the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.” This is another reminder to not separate out your “church” life from your “work” life. We should not be people that do church and then do work and then …. Instead, we should be Christians who recognize that God wants to be foremost in ALL of our lives: yes Sunday morning but also every morning. He wants to be the most important thing in all aspects of our lives and has the capability to direct us and bless us in all aspects of our lives as well. Seeing as this is a personal finance blog, I thought it appropriate to remind us who is really in control of our finances and wealth.
So don’t be a person who goes to church sometimes; rather, be a Christian who seeks to follow God’s commands in all areas of his/her life and therefore experiences all the blessings that God wants to put into your life.
God bless and have a great week…

Some people see being obedient to God as restrictive and oppressive, but if understood in the right context the reverse is true. It is highly liberating to have such a trust in God that you know that he has your best interests at heart.
Going to church on sundays doesn’t make you a christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. Follow the commandments and uphold the law – unfortunately some modern day christians seem to think it is okay to do away with the law but Jesus clearly said he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets and that nothing will be removed from the law until the heaven and earth disappear, so follow the law and keep the commandments!
