God promises to bless those who follow Him
I read Mosiah 10 today, then Exodus 5-6. 📖✨ Though a prophet called and ordained of God, Moses struggled or attempted to reason with the Lord when told to do something difficult and dangerous. ✋🔥
Moses was to tell the Pharaoh to release the children of Israel from bondage. ⛓️👑 It must've been terribly frustrating to Moses when he followed the Lord’s counsel and the Pharaoh did not let Israel go. 😤🌩️
Sometimes I want or expect something to happen in my life after I follow the Lord’s counsels, then find that the thing I hoped for, which was a good thing to hope for, did not happen. 💔🙏
This has happened many times in my life, but I've learned something that’s also good as a result. ✨ The Lord’s promises are true. ⚓ When I, and anyone, faithfully follows Him, the Lord’s blessings flow. 🌊🙌
Sometimes blessings are received right away. ⚡🎁
Sometimes blessings come later. ⏳🌻
As I follow the Lord, I have confidence and trust that blessings will come. 👣🛡️ Whether during this mortal journey or eternally, the Lord always keeps His promises. 🌍🌅♾️
Following God’s guidance often requires patience and unwavering faith, especially when immediate results are not visible. From my own experience, surrendering completely to the Lord's will transforms how we face life's challenges. The chaos of daily struggles seems less overwhelming when we put God first and keep His words as our anchor. In moments of doubt or hardship, remembering Moses’ perseverance helps me stay motivated. Although he faced rejection and setbacks, Moses kept following God's commands. This teaches us that blessings are not always instant but assured if we remain committed. I’ve also observed that blessings come in various forms—sometimes as tangible help or protection, other times as inner peace and strength. Trusting in God’s timing deepens my relationship with Him, making my faith more resilient. Moreover, embracing this mindset changes how I react to disappointments. Instead of frustration, there’s growing confidence that God’s promises will be fulfilled whether in this life or beyond. This perspective brings comfort and hope, reminding me that God’s blessings flow to those who faithfully follow Him, even through difficult journeys.
