C) GOD'S WAY IS THE BLESSING WAY continued.
Here are the last two blessings:
5. GOD WILL BE WITH US
I think that the worst thing we can face in life is to be on the wrong track and not experience the presence of God with us. Sometimes we can get so deceived that we are unaware that God's presence has left us. Moses cried out to God, "If you yourself don't go with us, then don't send us away from this place" (Exodus 3:15 NCV). He wouldn't go unless God was with him.
2 Chronicles 12:11 says, "Deal courageously, and the Lord SHALL BE WITH THE GOOD."
Amos 5:14 says, "Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord of hosts SHALL BE WITH YOU."
6. WE BRING BLESSING ON OUR DESCENDANTS
We can choose "life and good" or "death and evil" (Deuteronomy 30:15). God exhorts us to "Choose life, that both you and your descendants may live."
When we choose the "good old ways" of God's eternal Word, we not only reap blessing ourselves but on our children and children's children. We are not an island unto ourselves. It is a powerful fact that should keep us living in the fear of the Lord, that the decisions we make affect future generations to come.
