📖 "These are the commands, rules and laws of the Lord your God. He told me to teach them to you. Obey them in the land you are crossing the Jordan River to own. You, your children and grandchildren must respect the Lord your God. You must do this as long as you live. Obey all his rules and commands I give you. Then you will live a long time. Listen, Israel, and carefully obey these laws. Then all will go well for you. You will become a great nation in a land where much food grows. The Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised it to you." -Deuteronomy 6:1-3 ICB
It will always go well when we obey the Word of God. Israel was told that this would be the way to walk in all that God desired for that nation. If they would observe and do what was written in the law, they would succeed. They were also told how to succeed from generation to generation and to teach these same laws to their children and grandchildren. One reason God chose Abraham, was because He knew that Abraham would teach the laws of God to his children. God is a generational God. He wants us to show Himself strong from one generation to the next. The Word tells us that He keeps covenant to a thousand generations. God never changes, and He desires for His people to prosper every generation. When we follow His orders and His laws, we can be sure that we will eventually walk in that prosperity. God is faithful.
