1. God gives strength to conquer (1-9)

The people of Israel saw how God parted the Red Sea and how he destroyed Pharaoh's army; they experienced his mighty hand and his majesty through his discipline in the desert; they saw how he opened the ground to swallow up the rebels (Nu 16). This God of awesome power and majesty promised to give them strength to overcome their enemies, if they would love and obey him.

2. God is the caretaker of the land (10-32)

The land of Canaan was not irrigated from a river like the land of Egypt. It was dependent on the rain which God gives from heaven. God himself cares for it from the beginning of the year to its end. God promised to bless the land and to drive out all their enemies if they would love him and obey his commands and diligently teach their children. The blessing and the curse were before them. They must choose. The drama of choosing would be enacted on the two mountains after they had entered the land (26-32).

Application: Lord, give me spiritual strength to claim the blessed life and the kingdom which you have promised.
One Word: Choose the blessing
