Here Is Your Choice …

Do You Want To Be Blessed Or Cursed? 

You Get To Choose!

Scripture

Deuteronomy 11

²⁶ See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— ²⁷ the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; ²⁸ the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. 

Observation

People living in the world today are either living under God’s blessing or they are living under God’s curse. 

When a person put their total trust and faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior and when they turn from sin and self and turn to God they become one of God’s children. God tells us that we have all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places. His word tells us that we don’t lack one thing to live a successful Christian life. We live under God’s blessing. We live under the shadow of His Wings. We are blessed. 

Most people in this world have never placed their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and are living their lives like does not exist. Either they have never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus or like so many in the US they have heard about Jesus but have rejected what they have heard. These two groups are living under the curse of God. They have rejected the Creator God and He will let them live out their lives as if He didn’t exist.

Those of us that have a personal relationship with God live under His blessing. He promises to take care of us. He will provide for us. We can call on Him any time we are in trouble and He will hear us. He has given us the gift of eternal life. He will walk through the difficult times in our lives with us. He will never abandon us.

Those that live without a relationship with God live without His help. He is not their Heavenly Father. He doesn’t promise to provide for them. He doesn’t promise to come to their rescue if they happened to cry out to him. He doesn’t stop them from getting involved in sin and He allows them to experience the full consequence of their life of sin – destruction. 

So would you rather be blessed or cursed by God? I choose blessed. How about you?

Application

I will live for God today. I want to stay under the shadow of His wing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we are so much like the children of Israel in that we seem to always drift towards sin and doing things that do not please You. I want to live under your blessing and I sure don’t want to experience Your curse. Help me to share my faith so that others can come out of a life of disobedience and out of a life full of destruction so they can experience Your wonderful blessings like I experience. You are the Mighty God who Saves!
