The Eyes Of God Are On Your Blessings
Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess . . .
The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land that the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today -- to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul -- then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains . . . I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Deuteronomy 11:8-15.

The LORD cares about the land He has given you. The eyes of the LORD are continually upon it from the beginning of the year to its end. The land God has given you does not require strenuous human irrigation efforts. The LORD Himself will irrigate it with rains from heaven!
God will ensure that the rains fall in the appropriate season. There will be pasture for your cattle and you would not have to worry about food because you will eat and be satisfied.
Application: The LORD cares about the blessing He has bestowed on you. He cares about the job and career He has given you. He cares about the children He has blessed your life with. He cares about your marriage. He cares about the apartment or house He has blessed you with. Even though you must work to obtain and take care of it, you will be divinely aided from heaven so that you will not require strenuous human efforts. From the beginning of the year until the end God will continually watch over all the blessings He has bestowed upon your life.
Folks, these are not empty words. They come from the heart of our kind, merciful, and gracious Father. They come from the lips of the one who blesses without adding sorrow. But these blessings, again, are conditioned upon obedience to the commands of God. They will only happen if we put God first in our lives and serve Him with all our heart and soul.
Would you heed the voice of God today and determine not to compromise on obeying His voice? That is the only way to ensure that the eyes of the LORD will continually be on your blessings from the beginning of the year until the very end. This is totally trustworthy.

Prayer: LORD, I thank you for caring so much about me. Thank you for watching over the blessings you have bestowed upon my life. Please help me to walk in obedience so that my land will flourish with divine irrigation from heaven. Amen.
