text:  He reminds them of his miracles, his acts, which he did in the midst of their enemies, and his acts of mercy and grace while they wandered in the wilderness. He reminds them in verses 7 and 8 that they have seen the acts of the Lord. Now they shall keep his commandments that they may be strong, and the Lord will give them their land to possess. I call it the if and then equation. God says, if you do this, then I will do this.
