Obedience Brings Blessing

"Observe and hear all these words, which I command thee, that it may go well
with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that
which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God" (Deuteronomy 12;28).

Though salvation is not by the works of the law, yet the blessings which are
promised to obedience are not denied to the faithful servants of God. The
curses our LORD took away when He was made a curse for us, but no clause of
blessing has been abrogated. We are to note and listen to the revealed will of
the LORD, giving our attention not to portions of it but to "all these words."
There must be no picking and choosing but an impartial respect to all that God
has commanded. This is the road of blessedness for the Father and for His
children. The LORD's blessing is upon His chosen to the third and fourth
generation. If they walk uprightly before Him, He will make all men know that
they are a seed which the LORD has blessed. No blessing can come to us or ours
through dishonesty or double dealing. The ways of worldly conformity and
unholiness cannot bring good to us or ours. It will go well with us when we go
well before God. If integrity does not make us prosper, knavery will not. That
which gives pleasure to God will bring pleasure to us.

Nominate the Greatest American

The Discovery Channel posted the following on their web site:

Four Days Left to Nominate the Greatest American Ever Monday is the deadline to
tell us your choices! Your nominees will form the Top 100. Ten finalists (and
ultimate THE Greatest American) will be selected from that list to be featured
in a Discovery Channel mini-series in May.

Please consider casting your vote for Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). It would be
great to get his name in the top 100! Should you know others who would be
interested in casting a vote … pass it onto them.

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
