exploitation and crushing

Deuteronomy 28:33-35 (JDV)

Deuteronomy 28:33 A people you don’t know will eat your land’s produce and everything you have labored for. You will only be exploited and crushed continually.
Deuteronomy 28:34 You will be driven mad by what you see.
Deuteronomy 28:35 Yahveh will afflict you with painful and incurable boils on your knees and thighs — from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

exploitation and crushing

Every one of the acts of rebellion against God’s covenant was preventable. In future ages, the Lord would bring judges to rescue the Israelites from the exploitation and crushing mentioned in verse 33. The sons and daughters of these very people who are pronouncing the curses will live them. But, more importantly, they will also have an opportunity to be rescued.

Do you feel exploited, crushed? Seek deliverance from the Savior. He has come to rescue us from consequences of our own stubborn rebellion.

Lord, deliver us, and train us to live in obedience to your commands.
