Obedient Heart
Deuteronomy 30:2
and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today,
This follows yesterday's verse, about taking to heart the blessings and curses, and it is followed by:
then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.
Elaboration of that follows, making it clear that God showed Moses Israel being scattered and then returned to that small, God-given bit of land.
Obedience from the heart, submission of the whole core to God's will and command, brings blessings unimaginable. The abundance and prosperity I seek! It is like the branch life Andrew Murray talks about in the intercessory prayer book. When I am abiding in Christ, as the branch in the vine, my prayers are answered, because I know how to pray.
