Love and Obey the Lord

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:1 - Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:2 - Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:3 - the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country;

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:5 - It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place,

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:10 - The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:11 - But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:13 - So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul—
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:14 - then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:15 - I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:16 - Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:17 - Then the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:18 - Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:22 - If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him—
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:23 - then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:24 - Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
