8"Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors.H4687H6680H3117H8104H6213H2421H7235H935H3423H776H3068H7650H12Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands.H2142H1870H3068H430H3212H705H8141H4057H6031H5254H3045H3824H8104H46873Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.H6031H7456H398H4478H3045H1H3045H3045H120H2421H3899H905H4161H6310H3068H120H24214For all these forty years your clothes didn't wear out, and your feet didn't blister or swell.H8071H1086H7272H1216H705H81415Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, the LORD your God disciplines you for your own good.H3045H5973H3824H376H3256H1121H3068H430H32566"So obey the commands of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and fearing him.H8104H4687H3068H430H3212H1870H33727For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land of flowing streams and pools of water, with fountains and springs that gush out in the valleys and hills.H3068H430H935H2896H776H776H5158H4325H5869H8415H3318H1237H20228It is a land of wheat and barley; of grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates; of olive oil and honey.H776H2406H8184H1612H8384H7416H776H8081H2132H17069It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where iron is as common as stone, and copper is abundant in the hills.H776H834H398H3899H3808H4544H2637H776H68H1270H2042H2672H517810When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.H398H7646H1288H3068H430H2896H776H541411"But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today.H8104H7911H3068H430H8104H4687H4941H2708H6680H311712For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in,H398H7646H1129H2896H1004H342713and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful!H1241H6629H7235H3701H2091H7235H723514Do not become proud at that time and forget the LORD your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt.H3824H7311H7911H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H565015Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock!H3212H1419H3372H4057H8314H5175H6137H6774H4325H3318H4325H6697H249616He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good.H398H4057H4478H1H3045H6031H5254H3190H31917He did all this so you would never say to yourself, 'I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.'H559H3824H3581H6108H3027H6213H242818Remember the LORD your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.H2142H3068H430H5414H3581H6213H2428H6965H1285H7650H1H311719"But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed.H7911H7911H3068H430H1980H310H312H430H5647H7812H5749H3117H6H620Just as the LORD has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will be destroyed if you refuse to obey the LORD your God.H1471H3068H6H6440H6H6118H8085H6963H3068H430
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
