"If you fully obey the Lord you God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will com upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord you God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
the fruit of your womb will be blessed, and crop of your land and the young of your livestock...
Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as his holy people... all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity...
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head and not the tail... You will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them."
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
The blessings of God come when you look to him, listen to him, and follow him, and him alone!
