Deuteronomy 32:6

A Series of Questions Is Then Put To Them (Deuteronomy 32:6).

Deuteronomy 32:6

“Do you (ye) thus requite Yahweh,

O foolish people and unwise?

Is not he your (thy) father who has bought you (thee)?

He has made you (thee), and established you (thee).”

He then faces the people up with their folly and lack of wisdom. Is this really the way that they repay Yahweh for all He has done for them? Do they not recognise that He is their Father (Deuteronomy 14:1 compare Exodus 4:22) Who has redeemed them (from bondage in Egypt - Deuteronomy 7:8; Deuteronomy 9:26; Deuteronomy 13:5; Deuteronomy 15:15; Deuteronomy 24:18), and has brought them through the wilderness (Deuteronomy 1:31), and has made them into a fruitful and abundant nation, and has shaped them and established them so that they are there ready to possess God's land and live in it securely?

These are questions that we should put to ourselves. So often we forget that He is our Father, and that what He does is for our good. That is why we so often take little notice of Him and what He requires from our lives.
