"God made an agreement with the Israelites. He promised that if they obeyed Him, they would be blessed. They would have families and the land would produce crops. If they disobeyed His laws, there would be natural consequences of their disobedience, like famine and hunger, military oppression, etc." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
