My take on Deuteronomy 28. The Commandments were given as a blessing to us they are the (safe way) they are the warning(keep your hands off the stove you will get burnt) but they are a curse to those who rebel against them. Prosperity is a blessing from God, but when prosperity is (magnified) above God it becomes a curse. Read the testimony of many who won the lottery, and did not have the discipline that comes from walking with God. Proverbs 10:22 says, "The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and He adds no sorrow with it" Yes, the blessings of the world can make you rich, but with it comes much grief, look at the mess most in Hollywood are in. Combine these examples with what our dear sister posted in Deuteronomy 28, and see (that) what should be blessed, becomes cursed when God is forsaken, for God (alone) maintains the blessing. Proverbs 9:17 says,"The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forgot God" What's happening now in the land of the free and the home of the brave? They kicked God out of the schools, government, workplace and replaced him with? You fill in the blanks. Romans 8:22 says, "Thinking themselves to be wise without God they became utter fools instead" University professors who no longer even know what gender they are. Yes we need Trump in office, but it'll do us little lasting good unless God maintains the highest office, in our home, in our businesses.(by being in our hearts) We have to come back to one nation under God. To me this is the principle that is taught in Deuteronomy 28. We are seeing it play out right before our eyes. And thank you dear sister for pointing it out.
