Reward for Obedience
26 “‘Do not make idols(A) or set up an image(B) or a sacred stone(C) for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone(D) in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.
2 “‘Observe my Sabbaths(E) and have reverence for my sanctuary.(F) I am the Lord.
3 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey(G) my commands, 4 I will send you rain(H) in its season,(I) and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.(J) 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want(K) and live in safety in your land.(L)
6 “‘I will grant peace in the land,(M) and you will lie down(N) and no one will make you afraid.(O) I will remove wild beasts(P) from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. 7 You will pursue your enemies,(Q) and they will fall by the sword before you. 8 Five(R) of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.(S)
9 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers,(T) and I will keep my covenant(U) with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.(V) 11 I will put my dwelling place[a](W) among you, and I will not abhor you.(X) 12 I will walk(Y) among you and be your God,(Z) and you will be my people.(AA) 13 I am the Lord your God,(AB) who brought you out of Egypt(AC) so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke(AD) and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

First, 'I am the Lord' (1-2,13). Who is the Lord? He is the one true Creator God, who alone is to be worshiped (1). He is the Holy One who makes the laws and proper worship that enables sinners to come to Him (2). He is our mighty Redeemer, who broke the bars of our yoke, and enabled us to walk with heads held high (13). Second, 'If you...I will...' (3-12). God promises many blessings only if his people are careful to follow and obey him (3): abundant food, safety, peace and not fear, no harmful beast or enemy, and victory over enemies who are much greater in number (4-8). God will look on them with favor, make them fruitful, and keep his covenant with them. Most of all, he will put his dwelling place among them, walk among them and be their God, and they his people. The presence of God is the greatest blessing of all.
Prayer: Lord God, your presence is the greatest blessing of all. You alone are holy, our Creator and Redeemer. Thank you for dwelling with us sinners in the person of Jesus Christ, so that we might dwell eternally with you. Give us a heart that loves, fears and earnestly seeks you.
One Word: The greatest blessing is God with us
