The Lord Has Promised...

Deuteronomy 11:8-12

New Century Version (NCV)

⁸ So obey all the commands I am giving you today so that you will be strong and can go in and take the land you are going to take as your own. ⁹ Then you will live a long time in the land that the Lord promised to give to your ancestors and their descendants, a fertile land. ¹⁰ The land you are going to take is not like Egypt, where you were. There you had to plant your seed and water it, like a vegetable garden, by using your feet. ¹¹ But the land that you will soon cross the Jordan River to take is a land of hills and valleys, a land that drinks rain from heaven.¹² It is a land the Lord your God cares for. His eyes are on it continually, and he watches it from the beginning of the year to the end.
