Deuteronomy 11:13-20 (AMPC)   “ 13 And if you will diligently heed My commandments which I command you this day–to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being–   14 I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.   15 And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full.   16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your [minds and] hearts be deceived and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,   17 And the Lord's anger be kindled against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain and the land will not yield its fruit, and you perish quickly off the good land which the Lord gives you.   18 Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [minds and] hearts and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hand...
