It is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.\u2019<\/i> (Deuteronomy\u00a011:10\u201312<sup>\u00a0NIV<\/sup>)  <\/p>\n<p>For the next few days, let\u2019s look at this Scripture. <i>\u2018The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come.\u2019<\/i> Egypt was the place of stress, sorrow, and struggle.
