CONDUCIVE CLIMATE GIVEN AS A BLESSING
 
Nowadays, there is much talk in the media about climate change. When the normal weather pattern changes, many economic activities are affected. Israel depended on God even in the matter of climate.
 
God has many treasures, and He promised to open them for Israel. Rain is one of the greatest miracles of nature. When there is a prolonged drought, some are led to think of God. Unbelievers may be led to acknowledge that it is only God who can give rain. When there is sufficient rain, the land will be able to produce well, and man and beast will have enough food. Israel was promised great blessings so that they would have enough and could lend to others. God would make them a nation above, not below, others; and the head, and not the tail. The condition given to them was that they should not go to the right hand or the left from the words of the Lord nor serve other gods. Though Moses said many things to them, the point he stressed was the same. Israel needed to obey the Lord only, and in turn the Lord will bless them. Obedience to the Lord is a source of blessing to all people.
 
Moses was specific here and the promises run through the whole of Scripture. The pronouncements also were prophetic as illustrated in the subsequent events of the history of Israel. Faith and obedience to the Lord in all generations bring these blessings. Trusting and obeying God must always guide our walk with Him. The gospel of Christ shows that obedience is the way to God’s blessing. Obey Jesus and you have that assurance of the everlasting home. This is also the message that Christians deliver in evangelism. The requirement for salvation is faith alone. The world needs to know God and His saving grace, and the message of obedience will be relevant.
 
THOUGHT: “The heavens declare the glory of God…” (Ps 19:1)

PRAYER: Father, may I see Thee in the things that Thou hast made.
