Deuteronomy 30:11-20
Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
The word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Moses speaks of the accessibility of God's word.
Why?
Moses declared the consequence of obeying the word of God and turning away and not being obedient to God's word.
It is the choice of Israelites, even the suffering is the way of reminder to come back to the Lord.
For God is love and God hopes us to be blessed whenever turn back to the Lord, the blessing is always for waiting for his people. If resist God's word the consequence will be his own choice.

神的道不是難的，任何人只要願意，敞開心來聽，不用高的學問，都可以聽，都可以行。
摩西最後的叮嚀：生與死、禍與福，說明清楚了。你要選擇生命！神明明把生命之道，永生之道告訴我們，我們卻自以為是。認為沒有那麼重要！此比我們生命當中任何一件事情都重要。

How?
Let the suffering be our reminder and turn to the Lord, for God is good!
