Our great nation was once a truly wise and intelligent people when we put God first in our society. When we attempt to remove Him we become a nation lost. Deuteronomy 4:1-8 Advantages of Fidelity. 1 Now therefore, Israel, hear the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to observe, that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.a 2 In your observance of the commandments of the LORD, your God,b which I am commanding you, you shall not add to what I command you nor subtract from it. 3 You have seen with your own eyes what the LORD did at Baal-peor:c the LORD, your God, destroyed from your midst everyone who followed the Baal of Peor; 4 but you, who held fast to the LORD, your God, are all alive today. 5 See, I am teaching you the statutes and ordinances as the LORD, my God, has commanded me, that you may observe them in the land you are entering to possess. 6 Observe them carefully, for this is your wisdom and discernment in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “This great nation is truly a wise and discerning people.”d 7 e For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? 8 Or what great nation has statutes and ordinances that are as just as this whole law which I am setting before you today?f
