November 20, 2011 – Deuteronomy 28 – 28:35

Well the curses don’t sound very pleasant. There appears to be a lot of motivation to follow God’s laws, yet they do not. The whole idea of planting vineyards and someone else taking the fruits appears a prophecy of the exile. If you do not follow God, you will be taken from this land that you will build up. It isn’t the clearest on how that all will work, but there it is. I wonder sometimes if God’s warnings are too abstract and general that we don’t pay attention. Maybe if they were more specific we would take them series. If you disobey, on March 25 at 3 you will lose your job. You know what would happen then. Chances are we would live it up to a certain point and then try to make it up just in time. We love to push the envelope of God’s mercy.
