I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Deuteronomy 8. “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it  is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it  is this day. Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God” ( Verses 18-20). There it is again. Our theme… obedience. In this chapter Moses reminds the children of Israel of why they needed to trust and follow God alone. Of why only He deserved their praise and adoration. Then he let them know the consequences of disobedience. God at no point has hid from us either the consequences or the blessings of obedience Vs disobedience. It’s a choice we get to make. Choose wisely.
