Blessing or Curse?

1-minute devotion for Thursday, 10/2/25

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.”

 “I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
 I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;

Genesis 12:1-3 (emphasis mine) Read full chapter

NOW CONSIDER THIS:

When the Greeks overran Palestine and desecrated the altar in the Jewish temple, they were soon conquered by Rome.

When Rome killed Paul and many others, and destroyed Jerusalem under Titus, Rome soon fell.

Spain was reduced to a fifth-rate nation after the Inquisition against the Jews.

Poland fell after the pogroms.

Hitler’s Germany went down after its orgies of anti-Semitism.

Britain lost her empire when she broke her faith with Israel.

(Donald Barnhouse, pastor and theologian)

The Lord declares, “Whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.” Zechariah 2:8

In His Love, Cindy

  1. Sad to say but far too many believe the Abraham’s blessing from God was not passed down to the following generations. Yet there are far too many scriptures that tell us that this blessing and cursing was passed down from Abraham to Issac to Jacob to the 12 tribes, so yes it still applies rather Israel is faithful or not because it is from God and irrevocable. Thank you Cindy for this. Blessings to you.
