It is written, “These are the blessings that will come to you and stay close to you, because you obey the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:2)

My direction and commands are meant to protect you. If you hold them close, they will comfort you. If you follow them, I will bless you.

Not your marriage, not your children, not your work, nor anything else is more important than me! Indeed, did not all these things come from me?

So then, walk in my Truth. Follow my commands and your paths will be made straight.

You will know your next move, when you pause to ask, “Lord, what’s my next step?” I will direct you in truth and safety, to joy and blessings abound.

You cannot serve this world and also me. Trying to do so will cause great distress among you and within you. So then, will you pick up your cross and follow me? Will you trust that I have all the details worked out already?
