Many people and even nations are CURSED
BY GOD because of their wickedness, because they trust in themselves
and in other people, and they reject God. They want things THEIR WAY
and therefor GOD HAS CURSED THEM,
We read in Jeremiah 17:7
“5 This is what the Lord says:“CURSED IS THE ONE WHO TRUSTS IN MAN,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in Him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to REWARD EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO THEIR CONDUCT,
according to what their deeds deserve.”
That is what God does, He will reward us ACCORDING TO OUR DEEDS.
Every person who is wicked, who disregards God and who trusts in people, other people and in themselves, they are CURSED BY GOD. But Jesus Christ REMOVES THE CURSE when we TRUST in Him and we OBEY Him. When we trust in Jesus, we OBEY HIM, we change our conduct, we do what is pleasing to God and He will reward us accordingly.
Who do we trust in? Who do we serve? Ourselves? Other people? How is our conduct? Is God pleased with us? What reward can we expect for our DEEDS? Are we doing what is pleasing to God? Or are we CURSED BY GOD because of our DEEDS?
May Jesus bless you.
