March 27, 2014 - Thursday

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; (Deuteronomy 11:26, 27 NIV)

The carrot and the stick.  Positive and negative reinforcement.  Moses would have been an effective leader even today!  Here he describes the laws he was given by God, which the Israelites were to observe.  His promise here of blessing should be an encouragement to us even today.  

Since the days of Moses and the law, we've had an even greater blessing, Jesus!  He was the actual incarnation of the creator God as a man who walked among us (on Tuesday, we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation), who taught us a new law while he was here, and who's Spirit now lives in each of us--you and I--and leads us through the wilderness of our own experience!

Today, I will welcome Jesus in my heart, grateful for his companionship during every breath.
