Doing what God Can Bless The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto (Deuteronomy 28:8). If we obey the LORD our God He will bless that which He gives us. Riches are no curse when blessed of the LORD. When men have more than they require for their immediate need and begin to lay up in storehouses, the dry rot of covetousness or the blight of hard-heartedness is apt to follow the accumulation; but with Gods blessing it is not so. Prudence arranges the saving, liberality directs the spending, gratitude maintains consecration, and praise sweetens enjoyment. It is a great mercy to have Gods blessing in ones iron safe and on ones banking account. What a favor is made ours by the last clause! The LORD shall bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand unto. We would not put our hand to anything upon which we dare not ask Gods blessing, neither would we go about it without prayer and faith. But what a privilege to be able to look for the LORDs help in every enterprise! Some talk of a lucky man: the blessing of the LORD is better than luck. The patronage of the great is nothing to the favor of God. Self-reliance is all very well; but the LORDs blessing is infinitely more than all the fruit of talent, genius, or tact. ~Charles Spurgeon~
