96 “He will love you, bless you, and multiply you.”

Deuteronomy 7:13

 There are deep blessings to be had for those who put God first and walk closely with Him. Those who put self to death find the blessed walk with God to be all they need. Our God is sufficient and we do not look to the things of this life or that are in the world. There are many and varied distractions that try to tempt us away from the presence of the Lord, but we say goodbye to them and focus on the Word, for there we find more great and precious promises to us to support us in all our circumstances.

 God will show us His love and power, and we will not desire anything else. God will prosper all our ways and lead us to straight paths for our feet. We will walk securely through life and find God to be our all in all.

“The Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places.”

 Habakkuk 3:19

 This is a sure and certain promise that God will strengthen us and cause us to walk uprightly with Him. We obey because we love Him and want to know His power in our lives. How blessed it is to be loved by the Lord and how great is His good pleasure towards us. We should rest in it and find our security there. We will see and recognize His hand on our life, and we will find Him true.

 Let us walk uprightly and worthily with our God and not seeking other things besides Him. He is our dearly beloved and all other loves pale into shadow compared with Him.
