God blesses you for being obedient

There are blessings on faith and obedience. From Deuteronomy 28: 1 on, we could find some of the blessings, which reach the life of those who obey the Lord. God never impose anyone to obey Him but blesses those who do it. Those who follow the Lord are honored. In order to please God, you have to be good. Never put others’ lives before the Lord to justify yours, as the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. It doesn`t make God bless you, but to obey His words does it.

Humanly speaking, to most people, opportunities to grow are bigger in metropolitan areas, but to God, it`s worthless because He is the one who blesses you wherever you are. To have His blessings you have to obey and rely on the Lord.

Abraham and Lot could decide about the place, and Lot stayed with good lands, while Abraham stayed with desert. God made the desert a blessed piece of land to bless Abraham`s life and the good lands a signal of evil. When your situation is bad and some authorities, I mean doctors, judges, or any other ones sentence you, don`t get desperate, don`t badmouth them, just pray to the Lord and ask Him for the last word because it`s the final word that will solve the problem, it comes from God. For that, it`s necessary to be faithful and rely on Him; God is responsible for blessing us. God promises that the best will belong to us, He will provide us with enough to lend, to have a good life style, blessed if you want to obey Him. God gives us alternatives for us to obey Him or not because it`s our choice. God says we will be successful in everything we do, honored, and exalted. Every one of us has a call and a talent given by God. Not everyone is called to become entrepreneur or pastor, or bishop, but as a member, we can succeed as well even if we are entrepreneurs or workers. Never look at other people`s lives, keep looking at God and follow your path, obey the Lord. Fear God, because He will exalt you wherever you pass by. Just rely on Him and be faithful
