Thematic Bible: Promised to the righteous


Thematic Bible



If you obey these ordinances and are careful to do them, the Lord your God will faithfully keep covenant with you as he promised your ancestors.

You will be blessed beyond all peoples; there will be no barrenness among you or your livestock.

You will also know that your children will be numerous, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.

You will eat what you worked so hard to grow. You will be blessed and secure. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner rooms of your house; your children will be like olive branches, as they sit all around your table. Yes indeed, the man who fears the Lord will be blessed in this way.



If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent, and throw your gold in the dust -- your gold of Ophir among the rocks in the ravines -- then the Almighty himself will be your gold, and the choicest silver for you. read more.
Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face toward God. You will pray to him and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him.
