Blessings for Obedience -Deuteronomy 28:1-14
"If you fully obey the LORD your
God and carefully follow all his
commands I give you today, the
LORD your God will set you high
above all the nations on earth.
All these blessings will come upon
you and accompany you if you
obey the LORD your God: You
will be blessed in the city and
blessed in the country. The
fruit of your womb will be
blessed, and the crops of your
land and the young of your
livestock -the calves of your
herds and the lambs of your
flocks. Your basket and your
kneading trough will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you
come in and blessed when you go
out. The LORD will grant that
the enemies who rise up against
you will be defeated before you.
They will come at you from one
direction but flee from you in
seven. The LORD will send a
blessing on your barns and on
everything you put your hand to.
The LORD your God will bless you
in the land he is giving you. The
LORD will establish you as his holy
people, as he promised you on
oath, if you keep the commands
of the LORD your God and walk in
his ways. Then all the peoples
on earth will see that you are
called by the name of the LORD,
and they will fear you. The
LORD will grant you abundant
prosperity -in the fruit of your
womb, the young of your
livestock and the crops of your
ground -in the land he swore to
your forefathers to give you.
The LORD will open the heavens,
the storehouse of his bounty, to
send rain on your land in season
and to bless all the work of your
hands. You will lend to many
nations but will borrow from
none. The LORD will make you
the head, not the tail. If you pay
attention to the commands of
the LORD your God that I give you
this day and carefully follow
them, you will always be at the
top, never at the bottom. Do
not turn aside from any of the
commands I give you today, to
the right or to the left, following
other gods and serving them."
