I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse

 Deuteronomy 11:18-32

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today;  the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. When the Lord your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses.

Remember God's love, his power, his provision, his law, his judgments. ANd let that memory keep you humble, faithful, obedient.

Why?

Obey the word of the Lord in our daily life, wherever we go, we sit, we talk is the word of the Lord.

The blessing and the curse are clear and show to Israelites and us. God gives us the right to choose. 

There is no righteous man on the world, we have to humble ourselves, let the Holy Spirit help us walk on God's way.

---------------------

5-11 摩西將律法的根本,向第二代以色列人說明,勸勉以色列人遵行神的話語,如此必可以打敗迦南地的人與城。

這裏要將這一大段話做個結束。在生活中無時無刻牢記、遵行神的話。存在心思意念中。教導兒女最好方式就是身體力行成為孩子的榜樣。

應許之地要付代價,腳要踏遍那個地方。只要我們把神的話成為我們的思想,行為。

總結:聽從就是蒙福,否則就是咒詛。這不是威脅,而是與福的泉源連結必蒙福。基利心山樹木茂盛,象徵祝福滿清,以巴路山光禿一遍,不神的話結果會像這個山一樣什麼東西也長不出來。

How?

Read the word of the Lord every day, remind us every moment when we sitting, talking or thinking.
