40 DAYS – Time with God – Day 34

₁The LORD said, “Do not make idols or set up statues, stone pillars, or carved stones to worship. I am the LORD your God. ₂Keep the religious festivals and honour the place where I am worshipped. I am the LORD.

₃“If you live according to my laws and obey my commands, ₄I will send you rain at the right time, so that the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit. ₅Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting corn when it is time to pick grapes, and you will still be picking grapes when it is time to sow corn. You will have all that you want to eat, and you will live in safety in your land.

₆“I will give you peace in your land, and you will sleep without being afraid of anyone. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in the land, and there will be no more war there. ₇You will be victorious over your enemies; ₈five of you will be able to defeat a hundred, and a hundred will be able to defeat 10,000. ₉I will bless you and give you many children; I will keep my part of the covenant that I made with you. ₁₀Your harvests will be so plentiful that they will last for a year, and even then you will have to throw away what is left of the old harvest to make room for the new. ₁₁I will live among you in my sacred tent, and I will never turn away from you. ₁₂I will be with you; I will be your God, and you will be my people. ₁₃I, the LORD your God, brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves. I broke the power that held you down and I let you walk with your head held high.”
