Do What Is Right
I've been hanging around the book of Deuteronomy lately and this verse rose to the top in my reading today. It is Deuteronomy 6:18-19 (CSB), "Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, so that you may prosper and so that you may enter and possess the good land the Lord your God swore to give your ancestors, by driving out all your enemies before you, as the Lord has said."
If you want to be prosperous God gives us the 'if this, then that' equation flat out in this passage. If you want to be prosperous...then DO what is RIGHT and GOOD in HIS sight. Putting God first in every thought and decision and doing what He wants us to do...that is His instruction to us and the benefit is this, in all that really matters, we will prosper.
God also tells us that when we do what is right and good in His sight He will open the door for us to enter and possess the good land that He has for us...and as an added blessing...He will drive out our enemies right in front of us. So if you've been feeling like the enemy has been robbing you of your territory lately, stirring up trouble and prohibiting you from moving into the good space that God has for you, this is your invitation to camp out here for a while. Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight. Watch and give thanks for what God will do because of your obedience to His Word.
