Sounds fair to me!


Deuteronomy 28
Blessings for Obedience
 1 “If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the world. 2 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the LORD your God:
 3 Your towns and your fields
      will be blessed.
 4 Your children and your crops
      will be blessed.
   The offspring of your herds and flocks
      will be blessed.
 5 Your fruit baskets and breadboards
      will be blessed.
 6 Wherever you go and whatever you do,
      you will be blessed.   Deuteronomy 28:1-6

Curses for Disobedience
 15 “But if you refuse to listen to the LORD your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you:
 16 Your towns and your fields
      will be cursed.
 17 Your fruit baskets and breadboards
      will be cursed.
 18 Your children and your crops
      will be cursed.
   The offspring of your herds and flocks
      will be cursed.
 19 Wherever you go and whatever you do,
      you will be cursed.
 20 “The LORD himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me. 21 The LORD will afflict you with diseases until none of you are left in the land you are about to enter and occupy. 22 The LORD will strike you with wasting diseases, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These disasters will pursue you until you die. 23 The skies above will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth beneath will be as hard as iron. 24 The LORD will change the rain that falls on your land into powder, and dust will pour down from the sky until you are destroyed.    Deuteronomy 28:15- 24



I understand that this was instruction to Israel. 



I know bad things happen to good people (see video below)



But maybe this law is still true to a certain extent at times today. I feel blessed!
