The Promised Land is not just a real place on the coast of the Mediterranean, but a metaphor of new life in the Holy Spirit and full engagement in our divine commission. Don't keep #godslaw in order to enter the Promised Land. Keep it BECAUSE you have entered.

...and when you possess it and live in it, you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the rules that I am setting before you today.

There are many commandments that strictly apply only in the Land of Israel. Even for those commandments that apply at all times, it's important to be even more careful about observing them within the land.
As the full blessings of obedience to God aren't available outside the land of Israel, so the full blessings aren't available outside the covering of #messiah #yeshua.

Conflict between people destroys, yet competition can build when applied properly. Ecclesiastes 4:4, “I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.” When envy is the cause of success it causes conflict, but when competition that builds each other up to be the best we can be is healthy. When children play games they build thinking skills and physical skills, they also learn about being part of a team and helping each other be better at what they are doing. conflict destroys because one places self above all else.
