God Will Outdo Himself

God Will Outdo Himself

"GOD, your God, will outdo himself in making things go well for you: you'll have babies, get calves, grow crops, and enjoy an all-around good life. Yes, GOD will start enjoying you again, making things go well for you just as he enjoyed doing it for your ancestors." — Deut. 30:9

God is more committed to your good life than you could ever imagine. From the very beginning, His intention was for humanity to enjoy abundance, peace, and fulfilment. Think about the Garden of Eden—everything was already prepared before man arrived. Provision came before the person.

Our text says God will outdo Himself in making things go well for you. If He could prepare a whole garden at creation, and He now says He plans to outdo Himself, imagine the level of goodness He has in store for you today.

He promises fruitfulness—“You’ll have babies, get calves, grow crops, and enjoy an all-around good life.” An all-round good life is God’s plan for you. So if you notice any area of your life where things are not working, you can boldly say, “This is not God’s plan for me.” As believers, we resist the devil and insist that God’s will—His good, pleasing, perfect will—prevails.

The verse ends with a beautiful assurance: when things go well for you, God Himself delights in it. “Yes, GOD will start enjoying you again…” Your progress gives Him pleasure. Your prosperity brings Him joy. And remember, “God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children.”

Reflection

Pause and consider: God does not just want to bless you—He delights in blessing you. He finds joy in seeing your life flourish. What areas of your life need His touch today? Where do you need Him to “outdo Himself”? Bring those areas before Him with confidence, knowing His heart is already inclined toward your good.

Prayer

Father, thank You for Your promise to outdo Yourself in my life. I open my heart to Your goodness and I align myself with Your will. Let every area of my life reflect Your abundance, peace, and favour. Where things are not working, I declare Your perfect plan will prevail. Thank You for taking pleasure in my prosperity. I receive Your goodness today, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Have a fruitful day,

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Daily ration, daily routine

Daily ration, daily routine  "GOD said to Moses, "I'm going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day's ration. I'm going to test them to see if they'll live according to my Teaching or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they have gathered, it will turn out to be twice as much as their daily ration." (Exod.16.4 - 5) What you do daily determine what you become permanently. God had told the children of Israel that he was going set up rules and procedures for them to follow. In this day and age, we would have said structures and systems but rules and procedures communicate the same intentions.  So God says to Moses in response to the complaint against God about not having enough to eat. God says He will rain bread down from the skies but these bread are to be taken by the people on a daily basis and on the sixth day, they will take a double portion. Take only what the day requires. This will set them in ...

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff "GOD saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people and so readily gave them what they asked for. Oh yes! They picked those Egyptians clean. The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents. There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock." Exod.12.36 - 38) These verses bring to mind the parable Jesus told about the wheat and tares. The Bible says the farmer planted good seed but at mid night while men slept the enemy sowed tares among the good seed. When he was asked if the tares be uprooted, he told them no, but that they should grow together. The operative word been grow.  "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt.13.30 ) The israelite came out of Egypt not just ...
