Thursday: Deuteronomy 11:25-28

25 No man shall be able to stand against you; the Lord your God will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you.
26 “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:25-28

New International Version (NIV)
25 No one will be able to stand against you. The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— 27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobeythe commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:25-28

The Message (MSG)
22-25 That’s right. If you diligently keep all this commandment that I command you to obey—love God, your God, do what he tells you, stick close to him—God on his part will drive out all these nations that stand in your way. Yes, he’ll drive out nations much bigger and stronger than you. Every square inch on which you place your foot will be yours. Your borders will stretch from the wilderness to the mountains of Lebanon, from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea. No one will be able to stand in your way. Everywhere you go, God-sent fear and trembling will precede you, just as he promised.
26 I’ve brought you today to the crossroads of Blessing and Curse.
27 The Blessing: if you listen obediently to the commandments of God, your God, which I command you today.
28 The Curse: if you don’t pay attention to the commandments of God, your God, but leave the road that I command you today, following other gods of which you know nothing.

So another one of those scriptures that I need to read another version of.  As long as we keep his commandments and chose the blessing vs the curse we are covered. Because basically if God is for us WHO can be against us? Living in this worldly world is difficult tho. As we grow and become more apart of the world and less of the spirit world it become second nature to bend the "word" to encompass our worldly decisions. There's no grey area with God. As such as we fence ride we find that our "enemies" are able to shake us, that we are easily depressed and at a constant state of unrest.  Thankfully God is forgiving and he knows our hearts. Because if not, I know myself personally I would have been perished in this life.  The more energy we put into HIM and his WORD the energy we have about this life.
