—Deuteronomy 28:1-14
by: Kaymian Weekley.
God promised so much to the children of Israel, but the gifts were contingent on true devotion, underpinned by the themes of love, the law, obedience, and sacrifice. Moses expressed God’s desires for His called-out children. He carefully articulated the benefits tied to the disciplined heart that would also result in the nation being blest. The same is true for us today—our freedom is best served by our ability to be subservient. While today’s lesson emphasizes the guaranteed blessings of obedience for Israel, it also points to the characteristic of being faithful. Can God count on you to be faithful, even when you do not know how He will reward you?
