B) GOD'S WAY IS THE BLESSING WAY
Here are some more blessings when we choose the "good old ways." (Make sure you read Point 4).
2. IT WILL BE WELL WITH YOU
Deuteronomy 6:18 says, "Thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it MAY BE WELL WITH THEE."
3. GOD WILL THRUST OUT YOUR ENEMIES
Read Deuteronomy 6:19. When we choose our own path, we side with our enemies. When we choose the "good old way" God is with us to give us power over our enemies.
4. IT WILL BE FOR OUR GOOD
I love that God's ways are always for our ultimate blessing and good (Deuteronomy 6:23 and 10:12-13). They may not be the easy way. They may be tough and challenging. They may be the hard choice. They will most probably be counter culture to our current society. We may face persecution. But, in the end we will be blessed, plus reap an eternal reward.
God's way for Joseph were years of suffering and full of heartache, but in the end he reaped a triumphant reward. He confesses in Genesis 50:20, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." Read also Genesis 45:5-8.
Be brave and trust God's timeless ways. They always bring blessing.
