"Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear Me and keep all My commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!" Deuteronomy 5:29 (NIV)
After the Ten Commandments were reviewed and repeated to the people, they were afraid of God's presence. They told Moses to speak to God and then let him tell them what God had said. (Deuteronomy 5:27) This is The Word of The Lord which was given to Moses for His people. This conditional blessing for the people and for their children, was dependent upon their sincere respect for, and humble obedience to God, and their keeping His commandments.
We would be blessed and things would go well with us, and our children, if we would follow The Words of The Lord, live His way, and keep His commandments. We are His people, but unfortunately we are often hard-headed. We want to do things our way. We are blessed, but we miss out on many more blessings because we do not humbly submit to The Lord. If things are not going well with you, try changing your behavior. Be obedient to God and be abundantly blessed. (John 10:10)
