B’chukotai (By my statutes) Lev 26-27

Torah Portion:  B’chukkotai(By My Statutes) (Leviticus) Vayikra 26-27

Haftorah Reading: Jeremiah 16:19-17:14

In this Torah portion we are immediately struck by the blessings for obeying G-d’s Word, followed by the curses for not following His Word.  We are presented with verses that seem to say there is a physical reward for obedience and physical punishment for disobedience. Is that the point of what we read? Maybe on some level it is true however, we all know godly people who do not seem to enjoy the blessings mentioned and on the other hand, ungodly people who seem to flourish. So how are we to solve this riddle?
