Let Blessings and not Judgement overtake you

⁵ “ Your fathers, where are they?
And the prophets, do they live forever?
⁶ Yet surely My words and My statutes,
Which I commanded My servants the prophets,
Did they not overtake your fathers? ( Zechariah 1:5,6 NKJV)

The Lord asks these questions to a disobedient people about their disobedient fore fathers. The people saw that God's word overtook their fore fathers and the judgments of God came to pass in their lives though it tarried for a while. People grow comfortable in their sins and complacency when they see God's Judgment tarry. Unholy life styles becomes acceptable during that period because it looks like God does not care! Are you in such a trap? You can be sure that God's Judgment will overtake you if so. But the Scripture says:

¹And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
²And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
( Deuteronomy 28:1,2 )

Why not live a life of obedience to God's word? The other way is hard! Full of stumbling blocks. God designed it that way.

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. ( Proverbs 13:15 )

Prayer: Dear Lord, Please teach me the way of obedience and make me walk there in.
