Deuteronomy 33:18-19 – Be blessed at home, work and worship

In Deuteronomy 33:18-19, Moses blessed the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar together. The former was to rejoice in their going out and the latter to rejoice in their tent. Both the needs of these tribes would be met abundantly. Besides, they would be joyful in their worship as they drew others along to make their sacrifices.

These verses tell of the blessing of joy both in their going out and coming in. They speak of fruitfulness in work and in rest, in their business as well as in their worship. At work they would be successful in their undertakings. And in worship they would gladly draw others along to offer righteous sacrifices.

Like them, how much we need the peace of God to enjoy the blessings of life. At work, we need God's bountiful providence to help us be successful in our undertakings. In life, we must offer up righteous sacrifices to God. Also, like them, we need to learn to worship God joyfully as well as making effort to draw others to join us in the worship of our great God. These two verses can best be expressed in life by putting Proverbs 3:4-5 into practice. We must trust in the Lord with all our hearts and refuse to lean on our own understanding. In everything we do, we must consider and acknowledge the LORD and He will direct and guide our paths.
