Deuteronomy 28-29
An Overview of Chapter 28
Blessings of diligent obedience to the commands of God, and curses of disobedience are listed in detail. The blessings include multiple offspring for you and your animals, ample produce from your land, prosperity, and military dominance over your enemies. The curses seem to be the inverse of these, given in much greater detail, some of which are very disgusting.
An Overview of Chapter 29
The Israelites enter into a covenant with God at Moab, a different covenant made with their fathers at Horeb. It says that they have seen the power of God and His ability to keep this agreement - prosperity for the Israelites, and making them His people. The agreement is similar to the agreements between God and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob making God their God. Once again curses are listed that describe for those who do not follow after God all the destruction that will come to them.
Reflection
What blessings has God given you? What warnings has God given us concerning obedience? If you have ever tried living outside of God’s obedience did you feel cursed?
