Through
His strongly worded warnings, God calls us back from the way of
disobedience (27:15-26;28:15-24). Through His promises of blessing, He
calls us to the way of obedience, the only way to true happiness
(28:1-14). God's blessing cannot be taken for granted. Where there is
disobedience, there is no blessing. Our 'enemies' will triumph over us
(28:25). We need not be defeated. God has shown us His way of blessing.
It is the way of obedience (1-2). We are not blessed because we deserve
to be blessed. We can never earn the Lord's blessing. The blessing comes
from Him (8). He blesses us because He loves us - not because we are
worthy of His blessing. You can be in 'the promised land' without
enjoying the promised blessing. Don't 'suffer loss' - 'saved, but only
as through fire' (1 Corinthians 3:15).
