A Blessed Life

A Blessed Life

Intro : Are you living a Blessed Life or a cursed Life

Text : Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Psa 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Psa 1:4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

Psa 1:5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Psa 1:6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Blessings

Deu 28:1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.

Deu 28:2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

Deu 28:3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

Deu 28:4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

Deu 28:5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

Deu 28:6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

Deu 28:7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

Deu 28:8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

Deu 28:9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.

Deu 28:10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.

Deu 28:11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity--in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground--in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

Deu 28:12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

Deu 28:13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

Deu 28:14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

Deu 28:15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

Curses

Deu 28:16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

Deu 28:17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

Deu 28:18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

Deu 28:19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

Deu 28:20 The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.

Deu 28:21 The LORD will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.

Deu 28:22 The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.

Deu 28:23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.

Deu 28:24 The LORD will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

Deu 28:25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.
