Scripture Union Daily Guide 28th July 2024 Outline:
The first law of God is total commitment to Him – no worship of idols or images (vs.1-2). Sabbath observance and regular worship at the sanctuary were all to help guard against the corruptions of the Canaanite religion.
There are series of blessings most of which are prefaced by the phrase, “I will”. Read these verses again and note the rewards that obedience to the covenant requirements bring. The punishments are also distinctly listed from v.14. The possibility that God’s people will act with deliberate contempt of Him necessitated the whole list of curses. Do these curses have any relevance for us today? Punishments of sudden terror, drought and famine are all terrible omens.
However, we must be careful never to fall into the error of thinking if things are alright with us; it means we are necessarily approved by God or that if bad things happen to us, we have definitely disobeyed His instructions. Good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people. See Matthew 5:45, John 9:2,3, and Luke 13:1-5.
