Look at the love the Lord has for his chosen people. His love exceeds reason. Here's an example. Is a lone shepherd actually going to leave 99 sheep to wander unsupervised on a hillside while he goes to look for the one who strayed? Not at all. The unsupervised sheep will be prey themselves or at least will wander away. But our Lord and Savior comes to rescue us when we stray. His loving care is able to protect us when we are not wandering and to rescue us when we are wandering. This is no earthly shepherd. His love exceeds all reason and ability.
As we read and consider the cursings and blessings we are given in Deuteronomy, let us remember that these cursings and blessings are spoken by the Lord who chooses to bring blessing upon his people. All around us we can see evidence of his mighty hand of blessing. May the Lord bless us to return thanks to him for his lovingkindness today.
