God’s Blessings Will Overtake You!!!!

God’s Word tells us that if we listen to HIM and if we are obedient to HIM, HIS BLESSINGS WILL CHASE US DOWN!!!! 



Deuteronomy 28:2 (KJV) And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

Here’s what The Merriam Webster Dictionary says OVERTAKE means!!!   1 a : to catch up with b : to catch up with and pass by   2 : to come upon suddenly

Now, there just isn’t anyway to catch up to someone who is walking if you are going the same speed that they are going!!!  You have to run to catch up with someone!!!  So, I rest my case!!! 

Deuteronomy 28:2-3 (NKJV)

² And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

³ “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

Deuteronomy 28:6 (NKJV) “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.



You know, for years I had heard and even helped sing a song called, We’re Blessed In The City, but I had no idea that it came from this verse in God’s Word!!!



Now, I know that some folks will read verse 1 of this scripture and say, OH!!!  But that Blessings was ONLY given to the children of Israel, but I tell you according to God’s Word, that ALL of HIS PROMISES and ALL OF HIS BLESSINGS ARE FOR US TODAY!!!  Gal. 3:13-14



Deuteronomy 28:2-8 (NCV)

² Obey the Lord your God so that all these blessings will come and stay with you:

³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

⁴ Your children will be blessed, as well as your crops; your herds will be blessed with calves and your flocks with lambs.

⁵ Your basket and your kitchen will be blessed.

⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and when you go out.

⁷ The Lord will help you defeat the enemies that come to fight you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will run from you in seven directions.

⁸ The Lord your God will bless you with full barns, and he will bless everything you do. He will bless the land he is giving you.
