We all carry the weight of decisions that have led to devastating consequences. From Adam's choice in the garden to Moses striking the rock in anger, Scripture reminds us that even the greatest leaders made choices that dishonored God. Yet here's the beautiful truth: we don't read Deuteronomy 28 as people under condemnation, but as people covered by grace. This passage presents us with a stark reality—obedience brings blessing, disobedience brings cursing. The blessings and curses mirror each other line by line, showing us that God warned His people clearly about the consequences of their choices. But we cannot stop there. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, yes, but we must look beyond the consequences to see Christ Himself. Jesus became the curse for us so that we would not experience the full weight of our disobedience. When we make poor decisions, we don't face a God waiting to condemn us, but a merciful Father who restores us when we come to Him in humble contrition. Grace is getting what we don't deserve, and mercy is not getting what we do deserve. Every one of us is nothing more than a grace case, living proof that God's love extends beyond our failures. This day—the only day we truly have—is an opportunity to choose obedience that heals rather than disobedience that hurts.
