I just make a quick observation today. See in Leviticus how when God's people despise his covenant with them he will allow them to suffer for that attitude. Yet at the same time we can see that the people have apparently been guilty of ignoring the sabbatical year commands for some time. They have rejected God's command and yet he is first longsuffering, reminding them of their obligation. Next he lets the people suffer for their sin, but even when they are enduring famine and being driven from their lands by enemies they are still God's special, protected people. He never forgets his covenant and promises to them, no matter how much they are suffering the righteous penalty for their sin.
How great is God's love for his people. He never forgets his love for them, even when they forget their love for him.
