The answer (prevention) for what I wrote about yesterday is found in these chapters.
1) Respect the LORD your God.
2) Do what God has told you to do.
3) Serve the LORD your God with your whole being.
4) Obey the LORD's commands.
Do this for your own good. Don't be stubborn any longer. Give yourselves completely to serve Him. He is God of all gods and LORD of all lords. He won't take sides and He won't be talked into doing evil. He is the one you should praise. There were only 70 of you when you went to Egypt and now look, you are as many as the stars. You have seen this with you own eyes. BUT your children, they did not see! So make sure you tell them. Pass it on. Teach it to them. Tell them what you saw God do. Do this so it will go well with them also.
If you respect → do → serve → obey, then God will bless you, rain will come at the right time, and you'll have plenty of grain and cattle. BUT, be careful! If you turn away from God then His blessing will be removed, and you will not prosper.
If you respect → do → serve → obey, then God will make you successful; you will not be defeated. The choice is ours. Blessings—or—Curses. Blessings, if you obey. Curses, if you don't. Be careful! Be careful to obey my commands. Remember! Remember what you saw God do. Tell your children! They didn't see! Make sure you tell them. Then it will go well for you.
They still faced battles, but God went before them.
Addendum: 10/23/13 ~ God is a "hands on" God. He is not some distant deity that is aloof and uninvolved. Deuteronomy 11:12 says that the LORD himself cared for the land that He was giving to the Israelites. "It is a land the LORD your God cares for. His eyes are on it continually, and He watches it from the beginning of the year to the end." God is a God of details. Nothing has been forgotten and nothing has been overlooked.
When you live your life in obedience to His will, "No one will be able to stop you," not because of who you are but because of who HE is. God is prepared, and HE is unstoppable.
