26:3-13 Intimacy with God Yahweh will walk with his people when they walk with him, bringing times of blessing and displaying his personal presence among his people. We have the same promise from God today. When we are living in obedience to God, we are more attuned to his presence in our lives through the Holy Spirit, and our love for God grows.
26:14-46 Discipline God takes an active role in the discipline of his children. He will punish disobedience (26:16), turn against his people with anger (26:17, 28), and increase the punishment if disobedience continues (26:18). We often forget that God becomes angry and will judge us according to our actions. However, God never forgets his covenantal promises (26:44-45) or his love for us.
