November 16, 2025 – Deuteronomy 28:1-6, 15-19
Believers find God’s blessings through obedience.
A classic hymn contains the words, “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey.” Over the course of my 60+ years of walking with God, He has shown me the truth of these words again and again. God has provided His Word, the Bible, as our guide for life, and we can trust His words. The Bible is right about marriage. The Bible is right about the value of family. The Bible is right about money. The Bible is right about business dealings. The Bible is right about servanthood. The Bible is right about relationships.
Most important of all, the Bible is right about Jesus. God sent His Son to secure the salvation of all who place their faith in Him. We can best live for the Lord by learning His commands and trusting in His Spirit to help us obey them. God’s way is not the sheltered way, as some might suggest; rather, God’s way is the right way.
As you dig into the verses for this session, ask God to help you better understand the blessings that can come through obedience to God’s commands. Seek His wisdom as you lead your group to experience His blessings through their obedience to Him.
