Deuteronomy 11:16

TemptationPraise and worshipFaith

14 then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil.

15 And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,

17 or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
