—Deuteronomy 30:1-6

What a wonderful God we serve! This is like a father who loves his children—giving consequences when they misbehave and rewarding them for right behavior. The children of Israel pushed God to great limits. God set before them choices of blessings if they would keep His commandments and curses if they disobeyed. Like them, we have a choice to make—what will it be? God promises us that if we return to Him and repent, He will restore our hearts to Him and bless us like He did Israel. But we have to make the first move toward Him.
