A Prayer of Encouragement:
It shall be, that if you obey My
commandments that I command you this day to love the Lord your
God and serve HIM with all your heart and with all your soul,
then will I send the rain for your land in its season, the early
(autumn) rain and the late (spring) rain, and you will gather in
your grain, your wine, and the late (spring) rain, and your oil.
And I will provide grass in your field for your cattle, and you
shall eat and be sated. Be careful that your heart be not tempted
and you turn away to serve other gods and bow to them. For then
God will be furious with you and will block the heavens and there
will be no rain and the land will not yield its produce, and you
will perish quickly from the good land that God gives you. Take
these words to your hearts and to your souls, and bind them for a
sign on your hands and for frontlets between your eyes. Teach
them to your children: To speak them when you sit in your house
and when you walk on the road, and when you lie down and when you
rise up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your
gates. So that your days and the days of your children may be
prolonged upon the land, which God swore to give to your
forefathers, as the days of the heavens (are prolonged) upon the
earth. Deuteronomy 11: 13-31
God has given to each of us HIS Word to bring blessing to our
lives. It is with free choice that we decide as individuals
whether to obey His word or not. The final choice is not
predetermined. It is up to each person to decide for himself the
path that he is to follow. Today I am praying for you. You are
being lifted up by my prayers. Be encouraged.
