Deuteronomy 27-28
"Moses and the priests, who are Levites, said to all Israel, "Be silent, O Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the LORD your God. Obey the LORD your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you ..."
"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth... blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God... However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all His commands and decrees, ... curses will come upon you and overtake you...If you do not carefully follow all the words of the law, ... and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God- the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses... Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. "
Humble thoughts, reflections, and/or summaries from readings of God's word. "For if any one is desirous simply to know those things which it has pleased God to reveal, that is the man who accurately knows what it is to be truly wise. " Calvin

Deuteronomy 23
If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty. Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the LORD your God with your own mouth.

Deuteronomy 12-21
...walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him... that the Lord might show you mercy, and have compassion on you...because you have listened to the voice of the Lord your God.. and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God. You shall truly tithe year by year... and may the Lord bless you in all the work of your hand which you do... You shall open your hand wide to him (who is in need) and willingly lend him sufficient for his need.

Deuteronomy 11
Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 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 that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
