God Turns Curses into Blessings

Scripture:

“Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

God is speaking in His word here about the Ammonites and Moabites not being allowed into the assembly of the Lord for ten generations because they tried to hire Balaam to curse Israel for them.  It says the LORD would not listen to Balaam, but turned the curse into a blessing because He loves His people.

Application:

Even the curses that come along in our lives, the LORD is able to turn into blessings.  God loves His people so much that, even in the midst of struggle and tragedy, He can still bless HIs people.  We have a God who loves us and will take care of us no matter what.  As we walk in obedience to the LORD, He will bless our lives.  He is faithful and He will come through, even if Coronavirus has messed up your life and livelihood.  He will turn a curse into a blessing!

Prayer:

Father, turn a curse into a blessing for Your people today.  Take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it for good.  Strengthen Your church and build Your people.  Help me to realize that, even when it seems there are curses on my life, You are able to turn them into blessings.  Bless my life and bless the people I serve today.

Yours,
Jeff
