But the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam; instead the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loved you. Deuteronomy 23:5
Moses was giving this new generation a reminder of the things that God had done for the people of Israel in their wilderness wanderings. The Israelites had come through many trials and judgments on the way to the Promised Land. This instance was a reminder, not just of God's protection, but also His blessing and love.
Its good just to sit down and think through all that the Lord has done for us over the years - the times God provides or protects us from bad decisions. It's more than just being grateful, but it's also to direct us and keep the right perspective of who we are and who God is.
