God tells what will happen if his people obey him: they will be so blessed that they will not be able to eat all their food.

If they disobey, things will get bad. Very bad.

I find this scary to read – and I can’t write the threats down either.

Dear God, Thank you for sending Jesus so that we could develop a new covenant with you, one where we get forgiveness for our sins simply by believing and asking. Thank you that you can now view us through his perfect sacrifice and we are as white as snow when we come into your presence after being washed in His blood. I would have been cast out of your people forever for the sins of my teens alone, under the rules of those days. Thank you that instead, I am forgiven and blessed beyond measure. Thank you for my family, please keep them all in your care as you have promised, and thank you for my health, food for the day and our home, In Jesus name, Amen.
