Private obedience leads to public blessings

The Bible promises that if we obey God, then He will bless us. In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Moses told the Israelites, "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God."



Obedience can be difficult, but if you consistently obey God in secret, then "your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you"
Matthew 6:4 - that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly

You may freely choose between obedience and disobedience, but know that "a man reaps what he sows"
Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Obey the Lord in all things—private and public. Then you will see "all these blessings come upon you."
