Deuteronomy 29

"Therefore, obey the terms of this covenant so that you will prosper in everything you do." v.9
What is the best way to prosper in life? For the Israelites, their first step was to keep their part of the covenant. They were to love God with all their heart, soul, and strength. We, too, are to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; then true success in life will follow as a blessing.

"The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions." v.29
This verse shows that although God has not told us everything there is to know about obeying him, he has told us enough. Thus, disobedience comes from an act of the will, not a lack of knowledge. Through God's Word we know enough about him to be saved by faith and to serve him. We must not use the limitation of our knowledge as an excuse to reject his claim on life.
