“The Lord shall open unto thee his good
treasure…” Deut
28:12
Rare
is the man who has access to the greatest of treasures; greater the value,
greater the security. Even on a personal level our own treasures are reserved and
secured, only revealed and offered to those we desire to bless. For the Lord,
beyond His blessings are stored up treasures to which only He holds the keys. The
Jews have a saying: “The keys are in the hand of the Holy One…” We know the Lord holds the keys to eternal
life (Mt 16:19), the keys to knowledge (Lk 11:52), but here in Duet 28 we see the Lord holds
the key for even a temporal life and one of abundance in the Lord. This key unlocks the “good treasure”, the heavenly rains that not only produces life, but
sustains it through the seasons allowing man to be prospered in his daily
labors; so much so, his abundance allows him to bless others. The “Key” to such rewards is not derived by
prayer or man’s efforts, but only in his willingness to “hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments…”
(Deut 28:1). Where there is a key, there is hope.
The
key is not the desire to be blessed…we all posse that. It is the will to
prepare our life to be blessed that is the key.
