Gen Z: Deuteronomy 11
1So like, love the Lord your God, keep it 100 with His rules and vibes, always.
2Just know this day: I ain't talking to your kids who don't know the deal or have seen the Lord's savage moves, His greatness, and His powerful hand.
3And all the miracles He pulled off in Egypt with Pharaoh and his whole squad? Straight-up wild.
4Remember how He wrecked the Egyptian army, their horses, and chariots? He made the Red Sea totally overflow on them while they were chasing you, and the Lord has kept them gone to this day.
5And what He did to you in the wilderness until you rolled up to this spot?
6Think about Dathan and Abiram, Eliab's boys: the ground literally opened up and swallowed them, their fam, their tents, and all their stuff, right in the middle of Israel.
7But your eyes have seen all the lit things the Lord has done.
8So, keep all the commandments I'm dropping today, so you can be strong and go in to claim the land you're about to vibe with.
9And you’ll live long in the land that the Lord promised your fam, a place that’s all about that milk and honey life.
10The land you're about to take over ain’t like Egypt, where you had to grind and water your seeds by foot, like a garden of herbs; it’s way better.
11The land you’re about to vibe with is all hills and valleys, guzzling that heavenly rain, no cap.
12This land? God’s got mad love for it, always keeping an eye on it, from the start of the year to the end, periodt.
13If you listen up and follow my rules today, loving God and serving Him with all your heart and soul, that’s the move.
14I’ll hook you up with rain in the right season, the first and last rain, so you can stack up your corn, wine, and oil, fr.
15I’ll send grass for your cattle in the fields, so you can munch and feel full, that’s the goal.
16Watch yourselves, fam, don’t get tricked and start serving other gods, that’s sus.
17If you do, God’s gonna be mad and shut the heavens, no rain, and the land won’t produce, and you’ll bounce from the good land He gave you, no cap.
18So keep my words in your heart and soul, and tie them on your hands as a reminder, they gotta be front and center, for real.
19Teach these to your kids, talk about them when you’re chilling at home, walking around, laying down, and getting up, that’s how it’s done.
20Write them on your doorposts and gates, keep that energy up.
21Your days gonna be lit, and your kids’ days too, in the land God promised your fam, like heaven on earth, fr.
22If you keep it 100 with these commands I’m dropping, love the Lord, walk in His ways, and stick with Him;
23Then the Lord’s gonna kick out all those nations for you, and you’ll own the bigger, stronger ones, no cap.
24Every spot your feet hit? That’s yours: from the wilderness to Lebanon, all the way from the Euphrates to the ocean, periodt.
25No one’s gonna stand in your way; the Lord’s gonna make everyone scared of you on all the land you walk, just like He said.
26Check it, I’m laying down a blessing and a curse for you today;
27A blessing if you vibe with the commands of the Lord your God that I’m giving you today;
28And a curse if you ignore those commands and go after other gods you don’t even know, that’s sus.
29When the Lord brings you to the land you’re about to own, you’ll put the blessing on mount Gerizim and the curse on mount Ebal.
30Aren’t they on the other side of Jordan, where the sun sets, in the land of the Canaanites, chilling by Gilgal, near the plains of Moreh?
31Y'all gonna cross the Jordan to claim the land the Lord's giving you, and you’ll totally vibe there.
32And you gotta keep all the rules and judgments I’m dropping on you today, no cap.
