BLESSED HANDS
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:1-13
The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. (Deuteronomy 28:8)
Not only does God train our hands for work; He is also able to bless the work of our hands. He can command a blessing on all that we set our hands to do.
A commanded blessing is a blessing that God intentionally speaks into existence. The idea is similar to God commanding light out of the darkness. Just as God brought light into being when the opposite, darkness, had covered the earth, God can bring a blessing into being when a curse has covered the earth.
A commanded blessing is a blessing that cannot be overturned. No spiritual authority can overrule a blessing that the Lord has commanded over His people.
As God’s covenant children, we are eligible for His commanded blessing. At a time when things are going down for so many, the Lord has commanded that things should go up for us.
At a time when our world is shaken and unstable, the Lord has commanded establishment in our lives. At a time when people’s hearts fail them, the Lord has commanded a blessing of peace over you.
God’s commanded blessing on what we do with our hands has no geographical limitations. He can command a blessing on the work of our hands in the village and the city.
God’s commanded blessing will improve the work of our hands during a season of famine or in plenty. No place or situation is beyond the reach of God’s commanded blessing.
Today, let us stand ready for God’s commanded blessing on the work of our hands. May the Lord of light cause our work to shine in the darkness.
May the Lord of the earth cause the work of our hands to flourish in the desert place. May the Lord of the heavens water what we have sown with our hands and make us fruitful.
Your labour will be abundantly rewarded.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your commanded blessing on the work of my hand. I receive it in fullness, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
