Text: Deuteronomy 28:1-8
Memory Verse: “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you” (Deuteronomy 28:8).
The word “bless” here means to empower you in the work of your hand. There must be an engagement for that to happen. God will empower you in the work your hands are doing; therefore, if you are doing nothing, then you should expect nothing. Deuteronomy 15:10 says “the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto” (KJV).
What are you doing? Are you among those just sitting around, fiddling with their fingers and saying “well, what will be, will be?” There are opportunities all around you, though you might not see them because you are picky and
choosy or have set your mind on a particular thing. Decide to be positively engaged, and God will bless the work of your hands. What are your hands doing? When God talks about the works of your hands, He is talking about engagement. What are you engaged in? Start small, and it will become big just like a grain of mustard seed that you drop in the ground, grows and becomes a mighty tree.
God is ready to bless you, so what are you doing? There is a seed in your hand which you must plant for a rich harvest to come. Start where you are, do not be afraid, just start and when you do, you will experience God’s blessings that you never expected.
Prayer Points:
1. Father, help me with determination to start from small to great.
2. Lord, command Your blessings to come upon my work and cover my business today.
