If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,”God has cursed His people many times form their disobedience. He laid it out clear many times: Obey and be blessed . . .Disobey and be cursed! This was the Old Testament God. This was before grace . . . before Christ's sacrifice for us.
Says the Lord of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.(Malachi 2:2)
Many people are saying today that God has once again cursed this earth for our disobedience with COVID-19. I tend to believe that rather than curse us, God has backed away from us and allowed us to ourselves, thus removing His hand of protection.
We were so focused upon our finances, our careers, our sports, our entertainment and our social gatherings that we lost focus upon God. Sure, we went to church on SONdays and even had some Gospel music playing. We thought it good to pray once in a while too. However, our focus was upon us, not Him!
So God said, "So you don't need Me, huh?" Now we cry out, "Help us!" Help us Mr. President . . .Help us doctor . . .Help us government bail out check! What we should be doing is humbly crying out, "Forgive us Father. Have mercy upon us. We need You. Please spare us from any more harm! We (I) have dinner and beg for Your forgiveness!"
His mercies are new every day. Great is His faithfulness. Yet will you and I repent and refocus . . . and for how long?
