Be Willing
We must be willing and obedient if we are going to eat the best from God’s table because He has prepared a banquet full of blessings for us. So, exactly what types of blessings can we expect to receive from God?
We can expect blessings such as a healthy body and peace of mind, enough money to pay all our bills and extra to invest in the work of the Gospel as well as a Godly marriage and happy, healthy children.
18Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
However, as the above passages clearly instructed, those blessings are not just going to fall in our lap. We must trust God by walking in faith as well as abiding by His Word. Some of which includes the following.
Not be willing for the devil to put sickness on our bodies. Be willing, instead, to be well. In honor of Jesus’ sacrifice at Calvary, refuse to accept anything less than divine health.
Not be willing to live in lack, but be willing instead to live in divine prosperity and abundance. Refuse to allow the devil to stop the flow of God’s financial blessings to us.
Not settle for being a statistic or the “norm” in the world. Live above it in a home full of love and harmony, a home that is what God meant it to be, including receiving His best plan for our marriages and children.
Not allow the devil to substitute anxiety and ulcers for the peace and sanctity of mind that Jesus bought for us. Be willing and obedient to cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us.
7Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
To summarize, we must refuse to be robbed of the banquet of blessings God has laid out for us at His table. Those blessings have belonged to us since we became believers. Therefore, be willing to eat the good of the land.
God Bless!
