Deuteronomy 28:25-68
There
is nothing inevitable about the chain of events described in these
verses. These are the consequences of disobedience. God is warning His
people: ‘If you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God...’(Deuteronomy 28:15).
Why does God warn His people of the consequences of disobedience? He
wants them to draw back from the way of disobedience and follow the
pathway of obedience and blessing. These ‘curses’ were avoidable. They
would only happen if Israel persisted in rebelling against the Lord. We
can bring ‘curses’ upon ourselves. Don’t imagine that God doesn’t care
how you live. He does. That is why He calls us back from the pathway of
disobedience. That is why He exhorts us to choose holiness. Read Hebrews
10:26-31; 12:25-29. Pray for God’s mercy (Luke 18:13). Ask Him to make
you more holy (Hebrews 12:14).
