Enjoying the Blessing!

Let’s look at the list of curses in Deuteronomy 28. Read this entire chapter for yourself, considering whether you are enjoying a blessing or enduring a curse. If we are redeemed children of God, the curses do not belong to us, but the blessings do. Let us focus particularly on those blessings and curses related to wealth and poverty.

“if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways.. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Deu 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.”

The Will of God is expressed in verse 47- that we should serve the Lord our God with joy and gladness of heart for the abundance of all things. The will of God is that we, as His people, should serve Him with joy and gladness for the Abundance of all things He gives to us.
