Blessings of Paying Attention To God’s Faithfulness

Has the LORD redeemed you?

Then speak out!

Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.

“LORD, help!”

they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

“LORD, help!”

they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

“LORD, help!”

they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

“LORD, help!”

they cried in their trouble,

and he rescued them from their distress.

Those who are wise will take all this to heart;

they will see in our history

the faithful love of the LORD.

Psalm 107:2, 6, 13, 19, 28, 43

Blessings of Knowing The One Who Is Trustworthy

And now, 

Israel,

what does the LORD your God require of you?

He requires only that you fear the LORD your God,

and live in a way that pleases him,

and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.

For the LORD your God 

is the God of gods and Lord of lords.

He is the great God,

the mighty and awesome God,

who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.

You must fear the LORD your God

and worship him and cling to him…

He alone is your God,

the only one who is worthy of your praise…

Deuteronomy 10:12, 17, 20-21

Blessings of Committing Wholeheartedly To God

…The LORD is our God,

the LORD alone.

And you must love the LORD your God

with all your heart,

all your soul,

and all your strength.

And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly

to these commands that I am giving you today.

Repeat them again and again to your children.

Talk about them when you are at home

and when you are on the road,

when you are going to bed

and when you are getting up.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7
