Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Weather (1)" Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 11:13-25 for Sunday, 31 July 2016Deuteronomy 11:13 “So if you listen carefully to my mitzvot which I am giving you today, to love Adonai your God and serve him with all your heart and all your being; 14 then, [says Adonai,] ‘I will give your land its rain at the right seasons, including the early fall rains and the late spring rains; so that you can gather in your wheat, new wine and olive oil; 15 and I will give your fields grass for your livestock; with the result that you will eat and be satisfied.’ 16 But be careful not to let yourselves be seduced, so that you turn aside, serving other gods and worshipping them. 17 If you do, the anger of Adonai will blaze up against you. He will shut up the sky, so that there will be no rain. The ground will not yield its produce, and you will quickly pass away from the good land Adonai is giving you. 18 Therefore, you are to store up these words of mine in your heart and in all your being; tie them on your hand as a sign; put them at the front of a headband around your forehead; 19 teach them carefully to your children, talking about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up; 20 and write them on the door-frames of your house and on your gates — 21 so that you and your children will live long on the land Adonai swore to your ancestors that he would give them for as long as there is sky above the earth.

(vii & Maftir) 22 “For if you will take care to obey all these mitzvot I am giving you, to do them, to love Adonai your God, to follow all his ways and to cling to him, 23 then Adonai will expel all these nations ahead of you; and you will dispossess nations bigger and stronger than you are. 24 Wherever the sole of your foot steps will be yours; your territory will extend from the desert to the L’vanon and from the River, the Euphrates River, to the Western Sea. 25 No one will be able to withstand you; Adonai your God will place the fear and dread of you on all the land you step on, as he told you.

There are many Bible verses that talk about weather. All of these verses show us that God is in control of our weather. Today and for the next nine days, we will look at Bible verses about weather.
God promised that He would take care of the Israelites. But God expected the Israelites to obey His commands. In verse 13 God said, "You must listen carefully to the commands I give you today: You must love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul." Then God told the Israelites that if they would do that, He would send rain for their land at the right time (verse 14a).
The Israelites needed rain so they could grow food for themselves and their animals. God said that if they would obey His commands, He would provide them with rain. God expects us to obey Him, too. When we do, God will provide for us and bless us. Do you have a right relationship with God? Are you obeying His commands today?[JK]
"Be careful to obey every command I have told you to follow: Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, and be faithful to him."[Deuteronomy 11:22]
PRAYER: God, thank You for sending rain to water the earth. In Jesus' name. Amen.
