Deuteronomy 28:1-14
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath.
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
These are the covenant sanctions of the treaty.
Six blessings, 'if you obey', are pronounced. These are the material blessings of peace, prosperity, a fruitful land, children, victory in war. Above all, God's will make you his own people.
Why?
All of these blessings is the goal of human being likes. These are the peace and prosperity in daily life in everyone's dream.
Only one condition that could be blessed is to obey the word of the Lord.
Give up myself and be humble before the Lord, God's blessing is higher than anyone can give us on the world.
How?
Fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands.
