Love the reign

You might look at the title of the post and wonder what it means. Love the reign. In the context of scripture this post is about rain. The way I interpreted it was that we need to really
love and embrace the love and the reign God has over us. I hope this post helps
you understand what we have to do to experice God’s reign (rain) over our life.

13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. 15 I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.

16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.17 Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lordis giving you. 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

Taking a look at the scripture. The very first verse talks about what we need to do. We need to love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul. When we do that, God sends down the rain and blesses our lives. 

In the second half of that scripture it talks about how we need to watch who we hang around, if we hang around the wrong people the scripture says that the Lord’s anger will burn against you. When the Lord’s anger burns against you, you can’t get that rain we talked about above. It’s totally shut off. It’s sad. That really motivates me to watch who I hang around with. 

The good thing is, God still loves us all just as much. I really encourage you to love the Lord and to serve him with all your heart. I hope and pray that you can experience God’s love and power raining down on your lives.
