RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 20TH JANUARY 2025.
God promises to bless your life, but there’s a condition: You must follow his instructions. The promises and blessings of God aren’t automatic—they come with conditions.
The Bible contains over 7,000 promises where God essentially says, “If you do this, I will do this.” For example:
- If you confess your sins, I will forgive you.
- If you call upon me, I will save you.
- If you obey me, I will bless you.
When you feel like you’re waiting on God, in reality, he may be waiting on you to meet his conditions so he can bless you in ways beyond your imagination.
Take Deuteronomy 28:2-6 as an example. Notice the blessings and the condition:
“You will experience all these blessings if you obey the LORD your God: Your towns and your fields will be blessed. Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.” (NLT)
Even though you may not have fields or flocks, this promise still applies to the circumstances of your life. God will bless your family and your work as he provides for your daily needs.
God not only want to bless everything you do, but he also wants to bless you in ways that other people can see. His blessings become a testimony to his goodness.
Psalm 31:19 says, “How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the presence of everyone you have acted for those who take refuge in you.” (CSB)
God already has blessings stored up for you; he’s planned what he wants to give you. But these blessings aren’t automatic. If you miss the conditions, you could miss out on how he wants to bless you. Why? Because God’s blessings are for those who honor him and do the things he asks you to do.
As Ezekiel 34:26 says: “I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing.” (NIV)
Don’t you want God’s showers of blessing? Don’t miss out on what he wants to do in your life. Follow his directions and watch him fulfill his promises.
