Deu 28:13 “And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
A new generation had arrived on the East bank of the Jordan river. This was approximately one month before they crossed over to the promised land. Those of the generation which had left Egypt were dead and their bones bleaching beneath the desert skies because of their unbelief and disobedience . This was part of Moses final instructions before he relinquished leadership through death.( The Holy Bible Commentary)
And the Lord promised to make them the head and not the tail. They were going to be the lead nation *; a nation that would be rated highly spiritual and economically . They would lend to many nations and borrow from none ( Deu 28:12) . They were going to be above and not beneath. This dream would only be actualized if they heeded to the commandments of the Lord and observed them.
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land* ;( Isa 1:19). What consumes your mind controls your life . If we heed to the commandments of the Lord and observe them, then he will make us the head and not the tail spiritually, socially and economically .
