No one will be able to stand against you
as long as you live.
For I will be with you as I was with Moses.
I will not fail you or abandon you.
Be strong and courageous…

“There is no one like the God of Israel.
He rides across the heavens to help you,
across the skies in majestic splendor.
The eternal God is your refuge,
and his everlasting arms are under you…
…Today I am giving you a choice between life and death,
between prosperity and disaster.
For I command you this day to love the LORD your God
and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations
by walking in his ways…
The LORD your God will delight in you
if you obey his voice
and keep the commands and decrees
written in this Book of Instruction,
and if you turn to the LORD your God
with all your heart and soul.
The LORD our God has secrets known to no one.
We are not accountable for them,
but we and our children are accountable forever
for all that he has revealed to us…
If you listen to these commands of the LORD your God
that I am giving you today,
and if you carefully obey them,
the LORD will make you the head and not the tail,
and you will always be on top and never at the bottom.
You must not turn away from any of the commands
I am giving you today,
nor follow after other gods and worship them.
…if you obey the LORD your God:
Your towns and your fields…
Your children and your crops…
The offspring of your herds and flocks…
Your fruit baskets and breadboards…
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
you will be blessed.
…we cried out to the LORD,
the God of our ancestors.
He heard our cries
and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression.
So the LORD brought us out of Egypt
with a strong hand and powerful arm,
with overwhelming terror,
and with miraculous signs and wonders.
I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness,
and you will harvest a crop of love.
Plow up the hard ground of your hearts,
for now is the time to seek the LORD,
that he may come
and shower righteousness upon you.’
Oh, that we might know the LORD!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn
or the coming of rains in early spring.
