You will live and increase
See, I set before you today life and
prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the LORD
your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then
you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land
you are entering to possess.( Deuteronomy 30:15,16)
Life
and prosperity; death and destruction were choices that God placed before the
Israelites and advised them to choose life and prosperity by acknowledging Him
as God and obeying His commands.
If you desire to escape untimely death
and destruction there is only one-way dear friend and that is to live close to
God. The Bible says in Psalm 91 and verse 14, “ Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I
will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.” King Saul tried to kill
David 21 times but we read in the Bible “God did not give David into his
hands”. If you desire to be safe continually as you live on earth, you must be
in the Savior Jesus’ mighty hands. You must dwell in the shelter of the Most
High and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Look around you and you will see
death playing havoc in families, but you can rest secure under the wings of the
Almighty. Believe in God’s promises.
In John chapter 10 Jesus says that He is
the Good Shepherd. And then goes on to say, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give
them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of
my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can
snatch them out of my Father's hand."(vs. 27-29)
Remember,
the devil cannot snatch you out the Heavenly Father’s hand. But you can walk
out of the Father’s hand by disobeying His Word and living as you please. God
wants to gift you life and prosperity. So love Him, walk in His ways and be
true to Him.
