Moses tells the Israelites that the blessings of the Promised Land are that it “is a land of mountains and valleys, a land watered by rain. The Lord takes care of this land and watches over it throughout the year.”
All they have to do is obey, and the Lord will drive out the giants who live there, and Israel will eat from orchards and olive groves they have not planted. This will not be because they deserve it, but because God loved their ancestors.
We are also reminded to be kind to foreigners, to Praise the Lord every moment and every day and to talk in the home about him and his great works.
Dear God, Please help me to talk about you and your great works with my family in my home. Please help me also be kind to foreigners, even as I am a foreigner. In Jesus’ name Amen.
