Blessings for obedience, curses for disobedience, renewal of the covenant, prosperity after turning to the LORD, the offer of life or death, Joshua to succeed Moses, the reading of the law, Israel’s rebellion predicted, and the song of Moses.  WOW, lot’s of topics to cover.  The main theme I want to speak on is the blessings for obedience.  The blessings:

 1 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. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

 4 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.

 5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

 6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

 7 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.

 8 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.

 9 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. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 11 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.

 12 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. 13 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. 14 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.

Now come on that would be enough for me to get down on my knees and worship and obey.  What a wonderful thought to be blessed as the Israelites were blessed.  Oh wait a minute, we live in a country that is blessed above all other nations.  Thing is folks that in order to keep the blessings we will have to be obedient and as I read the headlines I see so much sin.  So I think we better read the curses of disobedience so we will be prepared to reap what we have sown.  For God can take away as quickly as He has given so don’t grow complacent in your blessings.
