Review & Intro: Chapter 5 & 6 talked about obeying the commandments of the Lord out of a love for the Lord and teaching them to our chldren. Chapter 7 reminded the Israelites that there would be warfare in possessing the land, but there was no need to fear any man because the Lord would fight for them. In Chapter 8, we see the blessings that obedience would bring to the children of Israel, but also the warning that they would cease if the people turned to other gods and forget the Lord their God.
