DAILY SHOWER May 24, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, the giver of life, open eyes, direct my footsteps so that I won't fall in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: The curse or blessing: which do you prefer?
Text: Deuteronomy 11: 18-28 (NIV):
"11:18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
11:19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
11:20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,
11:21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
11:22 If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow--to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him--
11:23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
11:24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the western sea.
11:25 No man will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
11:26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse--
11:27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today;
11:28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
*SHOWER:*
In today's scripture, God commanded the Israelites to keep to the law and go higher. God showed them why it was and remains necessary to follow His instructions. God says they will be blessed beyond their expectations or thinking. But if they fail to serve God, they will be cursed. That scripture is meant for us. We are supposed to keep to His law and commandments alone if we must survive or go to heaven at last. How are you running the race set before you? Be careful and join the race now.
