DEUTERONOMY 10 17For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. 18He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.
DEUTERONOMY 10 20You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.21He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.
DEUTERONOMY 11 You shall therefore love the LORD your God, and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.
DEUTERONOMY 11 2Know this day that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the LORD your God His greatness, His mighty hand and His outstretched arm,3and His signs and His works which He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land;
DEUTERONOMY 11 4and what He did to Egypt s army, to its horses and its chariots, when He made the water of the Red Sea to engulf them while they were pursuing you, and the LORD completely destroyed them;5and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;
DEUTERONOMY 11 6and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, among all Israel 7but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which He did.
We must talk with the next generation about the God-experiences we have had in our own lives and seen in our parent s generation.

DEUTERONOMY 11 8 You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it;9so that you may prolong your days on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.10For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden.
DEUTERONOMY 11 11But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven,12a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year. 13 It shall come about, if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul,14that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
