A Blessing and a Curse

Wow, did you ever think of your salvation as a blessing and a curse?  Me neither, at least not until I noticed these verses.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28(NKJV)

26“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 

27the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 

28and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known. 

If you listen to God and follow all of His laws, rules, and regulations, all would be well.  If not, well not so much.  But that was the Old Testament, isn't it different now?

Not really.  While things have changed from the standpoint of what it takes to please God today, the choice is still the same, blessing or curse.  If we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, then we have chosen blessing.  If we reject Jesus, then we have chosen the curse. 

And if I had to put the blessing and curse in a nutshell I believe that the blessing is a daily, lifelong, communion and fellowship with God.  The curse I believe is eternal separation from God.  

So if you want God in your life, if you want the blessings of that relationship with God, There is only one thing stopping you.  Accepting Jesus.  Have you done that yet?  Why not do it right now.  Just simply pray, "Dear Jesus……."
