Everything Happens for a Reason
What the Bible Doesn't Say
Deuteronomy 30:11-20
11 “The command that I am giving you today is not too difficult or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in the sky. You do not have to ask, ‘Who will go up and bring it down for us, so that we can hear it and obey it?’ 13 Nor is it on the other side of the ocean. You do not have to ask, ‘Who will go across the ocean and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ 14 No, it is here with you. You know it and can quote it, so now obey it.
15 “Today I am giving you a choice between good and evil, between life and death. 16 If you obey the commands of the Lord your God, if you love him, obey him, and keep all his
laws, then you will prosper and become a nation of many people. The Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are about to occupy. 17 But if you disobey and refuse to listen, and are led away to worship other gods, 18 you
will be destroyed—I warn you here and now. You will not live long in
that land across the Jordan that you are about to occupy.
19 I
am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God's
blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the
choice you make. Choose life. 20 Love the Lord
your God, obey him and be faithful to him, and then you and your
descendants will live long in the land that he promised to give your
ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
