Covenantally Blessed [Family Worship lesson in Deuteronomy 28:1–14]

What are the obligations and benefits of covenant with God? Deuteronomy 28:1–14 looks forward to the hearing of God’s Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord’s Day.

The ultimate fulfillment of these blessings is not in temporal prosperity alone, but in the eternal reality of the new heavens and new earth, where God Himself is the source and substance of all blessing. The call is to recognize Christ as King, to receive all good things with gratitude, and to know God Himself as our supreme blessedness in every blessing, and even amid hardship.
