Blessing and Curse

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20

Blessings or curses in life depend on the choices we make. God’s will and way brings blessings, the world’s will and way brings curses. “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12. The world’s ways seem right and good, but its end is death. God sees the end of the paths we take even though we can’t.

God’s desire is for you to be successful in whatever you do. Psalms 16:11 says, “thou wilt make known to me the path of life.” Joshua 1:8 says,” This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will have success.”

God will reveal to us the path of life through his word, it’s up to us to take it. though many times God’s way is going completely opposite the rest of the the world. If you’ll continue to stand your ground you will be blessed. God can’t fail and if we have His plan then we cannot fail. God’s path always leads to life, but the world’s always leads to death.

There are many ways the world offers for success. but they never last— God’s ways will never fail. “And the world is passing away and also its lusts but the one who does the will of God abides forever.

I encourage you to do things the way God says to do them and you’ll never fail. Life or death – it’s your choice.
