I want to eat well, and by offering the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name, the fruit of our mouths will be acceptable and wellpleasing unto God. Rather than eating violence we shall be made partakers to eat the good things of God.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: (Deuteronomy 28:1 KJV)
I will be diligent to hearken unto my God’s voice, for faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, and without faith it is impossible to please our God. The blessings of God shall come on me, and overtake me, if I hearken unto the voice of God.
Thank God for his word today, which is the voice of the Lord my God talking to me.
I will hearken, observe, and do all his commandments – this day.

Thank You JESUS.
