Do not deviate from it, turning either to the right or to the left.”

The History Of God
God doesn’t show favoritism. If He did it for someone else, He can also do it
for you!
““For the LORD has driven out great and powerful nations for you, and no one has yet been able to defeat you. Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the LORD your God fights for you, just as he has promised. So be very careful to love the LORD your God.”
Take some time as a group to talk about the history of God in your lives. Let this be a time for building each others faith and expectation in God.
Obedience To God
God wants a two-way relationship. He is with us, because he wants us to be with him.
““Soon I will die, going the way of everything on earth. Deep in your hearts you know that every promise of the LORD your God has come true. Not a single one has failed! But as surely as the LORD your God has given you the good things he promised, he will also bring disaster on you if you disobey him. He will completely destroy you from this good land he has given you. If you break the covenant of the LORD your God by worshiping and serving other gods, his anger will burn against you, and you will quickly vanish from the good land he has given you.””
