Notes: May 8, 2008 - Deuteronomy 11
Bob Feather May 8th, 2008
Blessing and a Curse
I. Privilege and responsibility (1-7)
II. The Promised Land (8-12)
III. The rains will stop (13-17)
IV. God’s word for you and your family (18-21)
V. Obedience’s reward (22-25)
VI. A life or death matter (26-32)
Meditation Points:
- The children haven’t seen all that God has done for their parents; but the parents have. Therefore the parents have a greater responsibility (Deuteronomy 11:7-8).
- God will be with His people 24/7 (Deuteronomy 11:12).
- The people were warned that the rain would stop if they abandoned God and went after false gods (Deuteronomy 11:12-17); and the rains did stop (1 Kings 17:1).
- How do children learn about God (Deuteronomy 11:19)?
- A blessing (if you obey); and a curse (if you do not obey) (Deuteronomy 11:27-28). Which would you choose?

Deuteronomy 11:7-8
7But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
8Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
Deuteronomy 11:12
12A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Deuteronomy 11:12-17
12A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
16Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
1 Kings 17:1
1And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
Deuteronomy 11:19
19And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deuteronomy 11:27-28
27A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
