—Deuteronomy 11:13-21
by: Mona Rampy.
God equated the Israelites choice to obey with life. Here in America we are a prosperous but confused people. We have so many things and forget where they came from. Our minds think we did this, we got these things by our own power and might. We end up worshipping our wealth rather than our Creator. All God asks in return for life is our love and obedience. The consequences of worshipping the gift and ourselves are sad, empty, and lonely lives. The rewards for worshipping the Giver and loving Him with all of our minds, hearts, and souls are peace and eternal life. To me, the choice is clear.
