Brachos Will Pursue Us

וּבָאוּ עָלֶיךָ כָּל הַבְּרָכוֹת הָאֵלֶּה וְהִשִׂיגֶךְ וגו'

And all of these blessings will come to you and you will reach them... (28:2)

Brachos Will Pursue Us:

The Degel Machaneh Efraim asks why it says that the brachos will reach us, rather than saying that we will reach the brachos. He explains that this is as Dovid Hamelech prayed (Tehillim 23:6): "Only goodness and kindness should pursue me."

There are times when a person flees from goodness because he is unaware that it is good for him. Dovid davened that the goodness should chase after him and reach him, even if he doesn't realize that it is for his benefit. So too, this pasuk is saying that the blessings will pursue us and reach us, even if we unwittingly run away from them.
