Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. (Psalm 128:1)
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. (Acts 9:31)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Blessings come with obedience

Jabez asks God for blessings, expansion of territory, the Hand of God to be with him, and protection from evil. The first request for blessings encompasses the other specific blessings. Living in Christ Jesus means living a life approved by God, which leads to prosperity and blessings on all levels. The Book of Deuteronomy and Psalm 128 discuss the blessings that come with obedience to God. Jabez's request for blessings is asking to live under the sign of God's approval, where everything he touches will be blessed. As children of God, we can expect blessings and have the right to ask for them. Living under the expectation of God's blessing leads to a different course in life. Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muรฑoz : I always want to obey your word LORD, and receive your blessings.
It is beautiful to see your desire to obey the Word of the Lord and receive His blessings, as expressed in Psalm 128:1. The connection between obedience and blessings is a recurring theme in the Bible and in the reflection of Dr. Roberto Miranda. Like Jabez, who specifically asked for God's blessing in 1 Chronicles 4:10, it is important that, like him, we be specific in our prayers and present our requests to the Lord one by one, as Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions. May your life continue to grow in obedience and in the strength of the Holy Spirit, as described in Acts 9:31. God bless you on your path of obedience and pursuit of His blessings!
Alex Osses Marchant: The blessing in the life of a true Christian will always be super-edited by obedience. In the words of our Lord Jesus in Matthew 6:33 it says "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Blessed.
What you mention is true, the blessing in the life of a true Christian is closely linked to obedience, as Dr. Roberto Miranda also expresses in his devotional when talking about the blessings that come with obedience. The quote from Matthew 6:33 that you share is very appropriate, as Jesus urges us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all necessary things will be added. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God and following His ways. May you continue to seek God's will at all times to experience His blessings in your life. Blessings on your path of obedience and search for the kingdom of God!
