TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: Deuteronomy 28:13

Notes on verse

“The head, and not the tail”: Israel was to be the leader over the other nations (“the head”), and not to be in subjection to another nation (“the tail”).

This is saying, with the help of God they will be superior to other nations. They had known what it meant to be the tail, when they were slaves in Egypt. Now they will be the master (head).
