Forms that Blessings and Curses Take

To study this theme in detail, one chapter of the Bible is devoted solely to it—Deuteronomy 28. The first fourteen verses deal with blessings and the remaining fifty-four verses deal with curses. When you have read that list of curses, you should decide that you want no part of them! The source of both blessings and cursings is clearly stated.

"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all his commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God."

(Deuteronomy 28:1, 2)

What is the basic cause of blessing? It is listening diligently to the voice of God and doing what He says. That's the basis on which God blessed Abraham. He said, "All these blessings shall come upon you because you have obeyed My voice." Actually, you do not need to go running after the blessings. What you need to do is meet the conditions; God will take care of the blessings. And then in verse 15 and onwards we come to the curses.

"But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you."

What's the cause of the curses? Not listening to the voice of the Lord and not doing what He says. It is basically very simple.

If you wish, you can read through that whole list of blessings and curses for yourself, but I will give you my very brief summary. You can check for yourself.
