Daily Meditation
If Thou Shalt Hearken Diligently
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt
hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set
thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come
on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD
thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the
field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and
the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou
comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise
up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee
one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The LORD shall command the blessing
upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and
he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD
shall establish thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if
thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And
all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD;
and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in
goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the
fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give
thee. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the
rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and
thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD
shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and
thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the
LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: and
thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to
the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
