"He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers" (Deut. 7:13a NIV).
Remember the song "Showers of Blessing"? Well, today's text is more like a cloudburst, a veritable deluge of blessings! Look at the rest of verse 13 with me. "He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land - your grain, new wine and oil - the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you."
From out of the past comes a song I have not thought of in years. "The service of Jesus true pleasure affords, In Him there is joy without an alloy; 'Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His words: It pays to serve Jesus each day. It pays to serve Jesus, it pays every day, it pays every step of the way; though the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear, you'll be happy each step of the way" (Frank C. Huston). Take a moment right now to thank God for his love, blessings, and increase!
