The Blessings and Curses of God

We often think of “curses” as simply four-letter words, used to express opinions in a rather rudimentary, and rude, manner. Spiritual, or even supernatural, curses are something for fictional works of mysticism, conjured up by a previous generations belief in the supernatural powers of the world. But the bible speaks candidly of curses, not from nefarious witch-doctors or ill-willed eastern mystics, but from God himself. Today, we look at the blessings and the curses of the covenant given by God to Israel, and think through the implications for our lives and faith in Christ.
