"You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out." Deuteronomy 28:6 (NIV)
Moses told the people of God that if they obeyed The Word of God, they would be blessed throughout all of their journeys, going wheresoever they go and coming back home. (Deuteronomy 28:1 & 6)
As Christians we belong to God, we are also His people, and therefore this conditional blessing also applies to us today. Hearing The Word of God on Sundays, and reading The Bible, does not do us any good if we do not internalize The Word and live by it. If we obey Him, God will bless us wherever we go (Deuteronomy 28:3 & 6), bless whatever we do (Deuteronomy 28:8), bless our children (Deuteronomy 28:4), protect us from our enemies (Deuteronomy 28:7), and God will bless us with abundant prosperity (Deuteronomy 28:11). All of these special conditional blessings will come to us and accompany us as we go through our lives, if we obey The LORD. (Deuteronomy 28:2) Whether we are at home or away from home, coming or going, God will bless us, if we obedient to His Word.
