*Deut 30:15 “Listen closely, I have set before you today life and
prosperity (good), and death and adversity (evil); 16 in that I command you
today to love the Lord your God, to walk [that is, to live each and every
day] in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His
judgments (precepts), so that you will live and multiply, and that the
Lord your
God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. 17 But if
your heart turns away and you will not hear *and* obey, but are drawn away
and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you
will certainly perish. You will not live long in the land which you cross
the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses
against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing
and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live,
you and your descendants, 20 by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His
voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life,
your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you
may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your
fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”* Enough said.
