Deuteronomy 28: Blessings

The word used here has to do with giving good things to the people. In this case, it was the good that God promised Israel as a result of their obedience. However, we need to remember that being blessed by God is not always a sign that He is pleased with us (Matthew 5:45). The only way we can know that our blessings are a sign of His good pleasure is if we have obeyed—and that is easy to determine. Just keep His commandments!
