Attention to the Details

Many of us in God's Kingdom think that God only speaks to certain people or that there are only a select few who are chosen by Him and they are the ones who have to follow and obey God's word to the "T" and that's it; but this mindset couldn't be further from the truth. When God calls you into His Kingdom He requires the same from each of us. Each of us is supposed to work just as hard as the next. You may not be called to preach but that doesn't mean that you have less work to do, no way! We are to pay close attention to the details. Close attention to every word and instruction that God gives us in the Bible. That's how we come to thrive in His Kingdom and that is when we step into the life that is full of blessings, abundance and prosperity without grief that God desires for each of us to live.God tells us this in Deuteronomy Chapter 28.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord you God."

Notice it says "If you" meaning, its on you. You have to make the choice to follow God's word, paying attention to every detail. 

And it's not like you don't know what benefits you would reap when you take this action. In Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 3-14 it gives you an entire list of blessings that will surely come upon you. Those weren't just for the Israelites in that time period, they are for you too; you just need to make it up in your mind to see them manifest in your life, God has given you the ability to make them all happen.

And that's not even it. There are examples in the Bible for you to refer to as well. Take a look at the lives of Abraham, Moses and Joshua. 

When a word from God was given they didn't reason, waver or falter; all they did was obey and the benefits of their obedience was something indescribable.

I'll start with Abraham. His attention to the details was amazing and His life was beyond prosperous because of it. Abraham was told to leave his family, his homeland and set out to a new promise land that God had in store for him. Abraham didn't know where he was going and he didn't ask, all he did was what God had commanded him to and because of it all nations through him are blessed. Not only that but he was beyond rich, he was substantially wealthy.

Next is Moses. Such a valiant man of God. He could have lived in the palaces of Egypt but he took his place among his Israelite brothers and sisters because he knew he had a job to do. He, under the mighty hand of God, led each and everyone of the Israelites out of the bondage of Israel, wrote down the 10 commandments of God and set all the laws. And when it was all said and done, at the age of 120 years old he got to see the promise land and then he went on to be with the Lord. How wonderful!

Last but certainly not least is Joshua. He was next after Moses, and he had the task of leading the Israelites into the promised land. Because his attention to detail was great and he followed each and every command God gave him, he under the hand of God, won every battle that was set before him. It even says of Joshua in Joshua 11:15 "he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses." He did every single thing that God asked of Him and was greatly rewarded.

Now these are just a few examples in the Bible of those who payed close attention to the details that God gave them; there are many others.

Don't let the word of God just go in one ear and out the other. Every word, every line of scripture in the Bible is vital to your very existence and your prosperity in the Kingdom of God. Whenever God speaks to you, do not for one second take it for granted. If God is speaking directly to you, He isn't doing so just for fun, it is of top priority, it is highly important, don't disregard it. Begin to pay attention to the details and God will greatly reward you for it, just as He did with the mighty men of God mentioned in this post. God Bless You!
