Loving the Lord to walk in obedience to Him and to keep His commands decrees and laws will help us live and increase

Loving the Lord to walk in obedience to Him and to keep His commands decrees and laws will help us live and increase

Deut 30:16

16 For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Deut 33:11, 13

About Levi he said:

11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”

13 About Joseph he said:
“May the Lord bless his land
    with the precious dew from heaven above
    and with the deep waters that lie below;

14 with the best the sun brings forth  and the finest the moon can yield;

15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains
    and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;

16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
    and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.

Josh 17:14

14 The people of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly.”
