Deuteronomy 28 says, “If you obey God’s word and follow His commands, then all these blessings will overtake you.” One translation of that word “overtake” is to catch by surprise. You may be in a situation that looks permanent. You’ve gone as far as you can in your career, your child will never get back on course, that trouble at work will always hinder you. What you can’t see is God has some surprises coming your way. Because you’re honoring Him, you’re keeping Him first place, He has blessings that are going to overtake you, favor that you can’t outrun, good breaks that you can’t get away from. It’s going to chase you down.
