Blessings

How often do we rob Him from blessings us? It might sound weird " rob God from blessing us?"
To think about it, God has blessed me so much to a point I don't understand why He does so.
But I was reading in Deuteronomy towards the end of chapter 32. Moses is taken up this mountain where he can overlook the promise land that God has promised the Israelities, but Moses is told that he cannot enter into the promise land because of this one time (I'm sure he disobeyed more than once but) he didn't seek God and took action to smite the rock so that the water will gush out. He is told that he will "die on the mountain" and that he will not be able to enter the promise land. Later on in Deuteronomy 32:10 it is written that "since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face."

I don' know if I am getting the point across here, but God wanted to bless Moses even more. Though Moses was an awesome prophet, he seeked the Lord and obeyed the Lord, but when he fell to seek the Lord this one time, it hindered him from entering to the promise land.

I think it is the same for us. He always blesses us even when we fail to completely obey Him, and I think this is because through His grace and love for us. But imagine how much more He wants to bless us? He desires for our whole committment to Him. To seek Him in everything we do. Can you imagine what more He has for us after ALL that He has done for us?
