Open wide your mouth

Psalm 81:1-16
Sing for joy to God our strength shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, sound the ram's horn on the day of feast.
The Lord has tested you at Meribah,  answered you out of thundercloud and rescued you in your distress. These are the story when Israelite went out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. You shell have no foreign god among your; you shall not bow to an alien god.
But my people would not listen to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. their punishment would last forever.
If my people would listen to me, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! fed them with finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.
This is a festival song. Refused by the Lord or choose trouble depends on your own heart.
Why?
The Lord has given us the promise if we follow his way and listen to him, he would subdue our enemies and fed us with abundant food even in impossible condition.
Open wide your mouth, means we shall has more faith to the Lord, his hands never shortened.
If the gospel has preached, but someone still does not listen it, then the Lord give them over their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices, then they will eat the result of their own sin.
How?
Open wide my mouth, sometimes we has little faith to the Lord, or we think too much or we shame to pray something, the Lord knows us everything, He like us talk with him, pray to him and sing for joy to God. He is my God almighty.

Pray to my Savior, The Lord Almighty

Psalm 80:8-19
Israel is a vine out of Egypt and be planted by the Lord. The Lord drove out the nations and planted it, cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
The Lord broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grape,  Why?
Pray the Lord return to us, Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine.
Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
Restore us, O Lord God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Why?
For the Israelite turn away from the Lord to worship other gods. so the walls of the vine have been broken down.
The most grief thing is the Lord doesn't care us, doesn't look at us. It seems be freed, we can do what I like to do, but it loss the protection. The end of selfish and turn away from the Lord is dead.
When the Lord make his face shine upon us, then we may be saved not matter what condition we are.
How?
Pray to the Lord, He is my savior. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

Restore us, shine upon us

Psalm 80:1-7
Restore us, O Lord; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. Three of this sentences separate  this psalm into three parts.
First part is asked the Lord hear us prayer. He is the leader of Israel, please awake your mighty.
Second part is how long the anger of the Lord against them, they were weeping  and be source of contention to their neighbor, then enemies mock them.
Why?
Israel was lost protection so became the source of contention of their neighbor, it was serious misery.
Psalmist confess the Lord is their God, asked for His coming, pay attention to them, so asked the Lord turn his face shine upon them. The Lord is the light so when he turn to them the light is come upon them.
Restore our mind and heart to the Lord is the basic step to pray to God. It needs the mighty power of the Lord reminds us,  strengthens us.
Why?
When a man felt shame and need help, he has chance to be restore, another point is which one is his source of rescue. Let every people knows only the Lord is the savior.

His love endure forever

Psalm 79:1-13
The worst situation in Israel: Jerusalem have been reduced to rubble, the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, we are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
Prayed to the Lord,
1)Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you.
2)Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers
3)May your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
4)Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the out poured blood of your servants.
Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever.
A lament for the destruction and bloodshed of the full of Jerusalem.
Why?
Leave bodies unburied was shameful.
Psalmist was groaned and grief to these worse situation they had suffered.
Psalmist knew it is the sins of the fathers made the Lord wrath poured upon them, so he prayed to the Lord. He prayed to the right direction.
The shameful things are worse than be put to dead.
How?
Thanks Lord I do not suffered such bad grief as Israelite suffered, but it is a warning to us that if we do not repent to the Lord will suffer even worse than them had. The Lord give us a little time to repent, turn to Him. His love endures forever.

Integrity of heart and skilled hands

Psalm 78:55-72
After Israelite entered the promised land,they put God to test and rebelled the Most High; Like their fathers they disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow.- after two generations of Joshua death
The Lord angered with their high places and idols. He rejected Israel completely. He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh and sent his ark of this might into captivity. He gave his people over to the sword. -At time of priest Eli.
Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, as a man wakes from the stupor of wine. he beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shames.- Enemies are Philistines....
Then he rejected the tents of Joseph, he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim; but he chose the tribe of Judah.
He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob of Israel his inheritance.
David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skilled hands he led them.
Why?
The psalmist thinks over the reasons for Ephraim's rejection, and finds them in Israel's history.
The Lord awoke as from sleep, He had mercy to the Israelite even He was angered with them, he heard the cry of his people, so the Lord strengthened his hands to rescued them.
Then is the timing, the Lord control the time.
The Lord abandoned the tabernacles and ark, those are the symbol when the heart of men apart away the Lord, all these symbol loss it's meaning. Like cross is a symbol, it is meaningless to a unbeliever of God. But it is precious to a real Christian, it is the blood of Jesus shed for us.
To be a king to shepherd his people with integrity of heart and skilled hand from the Lord. Most of the president in this world control their people with his greed and wicked minds.
How?
Mercy is the Lord who never forsake his people forever, He help the righteous people in right time.
Pray to the Lord give me gift of integrity of heart and skilled hands to serve God in this world.

Without Jesus there is not peace in this world

Psalm 78:9-54
The Lord did many miracle things to Israelite, provides food and water in desert for them, defeated the enemy for them. but Israelite spoke against God, they kept on sinning; in spite of his wonders, they did not believe. So he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their redeemer. But they would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with their tongues; their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant.
Yet the Lord was merciful; he forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
Why?
Psalmist remembered what their forefathers did so rebellious to God and suffered much terrors and ended their days with futility.
Yet the Lord is merciful even now, He forgave our iniquities and give us chances to repent our sins.
All of us are flesh, a passing breeze that does not return, what is the value of our life? It is short and worth nothing. But the Lord loves us, cares us, when we love Him and have faith in Him, through the blood of Jesus we may have the eternal life in heaven.
Jesus born is the great gift to human being, many people heard this news in this generation, but how many people believe in Him. The historical events as Israelite are again and again put God to the test.
How?
Return our heart tot the Lord, He is merciful God, we need the salvation from Jesus. We have to confess we can't do anything without God's accompany. Be humble in present of the Lord. The Lord will lift us who are his children.
Peace on Earth is the gift of the Lord. Without Jesus there is not peace in this world.

Teach my children by my deeds and mouth

Psalm 78:1-8
Hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will utter hidden things, things from of old.
He decreed statutes for Jacob, and established the law in Israel.
The next generation would know them and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.
Why?
God gave Israel the law to remind them of him.
In turn tell their children, not only to be a custom but to be a faith in life; trust in God.
The law is established by the Lord in order to teach us, let us listen his words everyday.
How?
My trust in God, in turn I need to teach my children, teach them by my deeds and my mouth. Even I have not listened God's words from my parent.

The solution is in the hands of the Lord.

Psalm 77:1-20
I situation of psalmist was under distress, and he was sought the Lord, stretched out untiring hands to pray and his soul refused to be comforted.
I mused and my spirit grew inquired, my heart mused and my spirit inquired.
1)Will the Lord reject forever?  Will her never show his favor again?
2)Has his unfailing love vanished forever?  Has his promise failed for all time?
3)Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?
I remember, thought and meditate on all His words and consider all His mighty deeds.
About the six questions, the answer are "Not", the Lord is everywhere but His footprints were not seen.
Why?
When we distress and pray to the Lord, we usually could not see where is the Lord, why he will let us suffer these afflictions.
What we have to do is to 1)remember, 2)thought and 3)meditate on His words and 4)consider all His deeds. Let us have faith to the  Lord.
For I am a servant of the Lord, I am a human being, some plan or what the Lord did I do not know, but I believed the love of the Lord is forever to me.
How?
Whenever we are distressed or heart mused and my soul inquired, come forward to the Lord, pray to Him and meditate his words and consider all his mighty deeds. The solution is in the hands of the Lord.

Fear the Lord is necessary

Psalm 76:1-12
You alone are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?
Surely your wrath against men bring you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained- and with the remainder of wrath you arm yourself.
The Lord is the only one- His name is great, He pronounced judgement. Make vow to the Lord and full fill them
The Lord save all the afflicted of the land,breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
Why?
Fear the Lord brings praises to the Lord, all His people need to fear the Lord.
No one can stand before the Lord when God are angry.
Fear the Lord, his judgement and righteous. So we like to follow his command to avoid the punishment from God.
How?
Reverence to the Lord from fear the Lord, love the Lord for his mercy deeper and longer than his wrath.

Be humble, boast no more

Psalm 75:1-10
The Lord says "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly."
To the arrogant "Boast not more", to the wicked "Do not lift your horns", Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak against with outstretch neck.
It is God who judges; He brings one down, he exalts another.
The Lord will cut off the horns of all the wicked but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
Be humble and praise the Lord, I give thanks to God and sing praise to the God, declare his name forever.
Why?
The position higher or lower depends on the Lord under the similar situation. God judges all.
The Lord will cut off the horns of all wicked, but the time is in the hands of God.
The end is confirmed, we have to wait, for the Lord has said all of this, He give the wicked chance to repent for their sins. Everyone who boasted will falls.
How?
I should to do is give thanks to the Lord for every thing. I will tell the wonderful deeds of the Lord.
Humble myself for all of I have is come from the mercy of the Lord.

He was, He is, He will be

Psalm 74:10-23
Psalmist preyed to the Lord remember the enemy reviled the name of God, the fools mock you all day long.

I was you who split open the sea by your power; crushed the heads of Leviathan, opened up springs and streams. The day is yours, and yours also the night; I was you set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
Why?
Psalmist has many pain and oppressed by enemy, for the name of God be reviled and mocked. Both physical and spirit afflicted people they were.
Prayed t the Lord remember what the enemy did and do not forget his people, Praise the Lord and gave the honor to the Lord, He is power king, please take His right hand from the folds of your garment and destroy them. The deepest cry out.
How?
Any suffering or depress or afflicted, come the Lord pray to Him , He is our savior, even we had done something wrong, He like us come back, repent our sin before Him, His mercy is forever and his angry was temporary.
He was, He is, He will be.

The sign of the Lord in the world

Psalm 74:1-9
Psalmist prayed to the Lord to memorize them whom God redeemed. Mount Zion, where god dwelt.
The sign of Israel are sanctuary, carved paneling were smashed and destroyed.
The enemy set up their standards as signs.
There were no miraculous signs; no prophets are left, and no of us knows how long this will be.
Why?
Some of the Israelite knew they should repent and pray to the Lord. Then wrote these psalm.
The sign of Israelite belong to the Lord are the sanctuary and carved paneling, mount Zion? Not, it should be the heart of the Lord, the deeds and faith of the Lord.
The signs of aliens are some standards or flags, standards: their worship forms.
How long the anti-God enemy remain master was they concerned. How long showed up they were tolerated with those suffering, and waiting for the savior.
How?
What is the sign of a Christian, not the church , not the cross, important matters are the empty grave, the blood of Jesus, and the love of Jesus in our heart.
Church is a building, Bible is a book, Cross is a wood, it is meaningless if it exists without the Holy Spirit. Everyone of us is an ambassador of the Lord. We are His sign to the world.





Pure in heart (Psalm 73)

Psalm 73
Surely God is good to Israel to those who are pure in heart.
I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They say " How can God know? Does the most High have knowledge?"
The wicked, they always carefree, they increase in wealth. It is common scenario in this world.
Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain I washed my hands in innocence. -- a command of the sad man have been plagued.
When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me, till I entered the sanctuary of God, then I understood the final destining. It is could not be explained by human mind.
As a dream when one wakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
Solution:
Yet, I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
Whom have I in heaven but you; And earth has nothing I desire besides you?
My flesh and my heart may fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Action:
As for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
Why?
The mind of David is same as ours'.
When I could not understand or lost the courage to follow the Lord, come to the present of the Lord, come to the sanctuary. Listen to the words of the Lord.
Our life is temporary and short, like a dream, we have the everlasting place in heaven.
My hope is the God. Remember the grace of the Lord has done for us.
How?
O Lord, Please let me see what you see, understand what your mind, let me getting closer to you.
I have made the Lord be my refuge; I will tell all of your deeds.

The spirit of wisdom of the Lord


Deuteronomy 34:1-12
Title: The Heritance of the wisdom is from the spirit of wisdom of the Lord
The Lord showed Moses the whole land the Lord promised on oath to Abraham, Issac,and Jacob. And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab.
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. The Lord buried Moses there, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
The Israelite grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
Joshua son of Num was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him.
No one prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in sight of all Israel.
Why?
Moses is the highest servant of the Lord has very close relationship with the Lord.
The mission of Moses has finished so the Lord took his life to haven.
The mission of leading Israelite cross over Jordan into promise land was come upon Joshua.
Joshua has the spirit of wisdom than he can lead Israelite, A man with Holy Spirit lay hand to another man, who may have the spirit same as laid man. Not only need wisdom but the spirit of wisdom. When Holy Spirit is come with me then I can have the wisdom of the Lord.
How?
I have accepted the laid hand from elders of my church in Taipei, so I have the same Holy Spirit from the Lord. Spirit is more import than wisdom.

Rejoice in your going out, and in your tents.
Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will trample down their high places.

Blessing more


Deuteronomy 33:1-12
Title: Blessing more
The Lord came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir. He came from the mountain slopes (the place is uncertain)with myriads of holy one. These places are where the Lord showed up and told the laws to Moses.
Moses pronounced the blessing to the Israelite before his death.
Reuben: Let he live and not die, nor his men be few.
Levi: He did not recognize his brother or acknowledge his own children, but watched over the word of the Lord and covenant. Serve the Lord before the altar. Bless all his skills and be pleased with the work of his hands
Benjamin: Let him rest secure in the Lord for the Lord shields him all day long.

The Lord will repay, in due time the enemy’s foot will slip their disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.
Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; and make atonements for his land and people.
Moses said to Israelite, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you- they are your life.”
Moses can see the land only from a distance; but was not allowed enter the land the Lord is giving to the people of Israel. Moses broke faith with the Lord in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, because Moses did not uphold the holiness among the Israelite.
Why?
Once again Moses declare to Israelite the words of the Lord is life, very important to them.
The God is the Lord there is no god besides Him.
The Lord will repay, avenge his enemy and the evil man in due time. Don’t think the Lord does not know what we did, be afraid the consequence of our behavior.

The Lord's portion is his people

Deuteronomy 32:1-26
The Lord, He is the rock, his works are perfect and all his way are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright a just is he.
They have acted corruptly toward him; to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation.
For the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
He shield him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of this eye.
Jeshurun, Israel grew fat and kicked abandoned the Go who made him and rejected the Rock his savior. They made him jealous with their foreign gods and angered him with their detestable idols.
The Lord saw this detestable things and rejected them because he was angered by his sons and daughters. For they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful. I will make them childless; i their homes terror reign, all will perish. I would scatter them and blot out their memory from mankind.
Why?
Too comfortable may easy let man forget who make him abundant and turn away from the Lord.
The Lord is our rock, hard and strong holder. The Lord take care us always, even we do not know God does who does no wrong.
Moses wrote this song indicated the future of the Israelite entered the promised land.
How?
Obey and trust the Lord, He do everything is good for us if I follow his words.

The Lord knows everything, He was, He is, He always will be

Deuteronomy 31:14-30
The Lord said to Moses,"Now the day of your death is near"
The Lord said to Moses:"Israelite will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and I will hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods."
The Load asked Moses, write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelite and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for me against them.
The Lord knows what they are disposed to do, even before the Lord bring them into the land the Lord promised them on oath.
Moses believed the words of the Lord, for Israelite have been rebellious against the Lord while he is still alive and with them, how much more will they rebel after he die! How rebellious and stiff-necked you are.
Why?
The Lord knows in advance Israelite will turn away to the foreign gods, but because the oath has made with their forefather, so the Lord keep his promise to lead those stiff-necked people enter the promise land. No matter what man has done or will do. And the Lord has his plan to save those people- by his own son's blood to erase the sin of the man.
How sad Moses was when he knew his day is ending, but his health is nice, he is release from his burden and go back to the heaven. Moses believes every word of the Lord, and executed carefully except hit the rock for the water.
How?
Carefully listen and obey the words of the Lord, this world has many attraction ad track to induce us turn away from the way of the Lord, reading Hid word everyday and pray to the Lord give us the strength and faith to follow Him. Go to the church every Holy day and make show the faith in behavior.
The Lord, He was, He is, He always will be, He is to come.

Listen and do as the words of the Lord

Deuteronomy31:1-13
Moses was 120 years old, he could not lead Israelite cross the Jordan, but the Lord will cross over ahead of you.
Joshua will cross over ahead of you, Joshua be the leader instead of Moses.
Moses encouraged them do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Moses summoned Joshua and aid to him in the presence of all Israel "Be strong and courageous"
Moses wrote down this law and give it to the priests, the sons of Levi. The Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, during the Feat of Tabernacles, when Israel come to appear before the Lord at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing. So they listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law."
Why?
The Lord didn't allow Moses enter the west of Jordan, Joshua will be the leader among them, actually the Lord always is their leader.
Be strong and courage walk the way that the Lord has promised and He never leave and forsake you. It is our faith to the Lord and it is the promise of the Lord.
Read and listen the Law every seven year is needed, or people will forget the laws of the Lord when they live well in the prosper territory.
How?
Read and ponder the words of the Lord every day in this busy daily life is needed, to remind me that I am the people of the Lord.
Human being has life limitation, so obey the destiny that the Lord has defined and do what I have to do, love the Lord with all my mind, all my hear and all my soul, the love my neighbors.

For the Lord is your life, and he will give you may years in the land he swore to give your fathers.
Why?

The key is my heart and mind, when a man proud to himself, he won't listen to all these witness, unless one day he is woken by the Lord.
How?
Pray to the Lord for our relatives, our loved one, our friends and colleagues. Let the Holy Spirit inspires them and turn to the Lord. His words is the light.

The secret things belong to the Lord our God

Deuteronomy 29:16-29
Make sure there is no man or woman ,clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations- the countries on the way they passed through
When such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself and therefore thinks,"I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way" This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
The Lord knows that Israelite will turn away from the Lord and go to worship the gods of other nations, so all the nations will ask: "Why has the Lord done this to this land? And the answer will be:"It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the Lord. Therefor the Lord's anger burned against this land.
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of the law.
Why?
The Lord said these warning message to the Israelite through Moses, but the heart of Israel after a few generation turned away from the Lord, and went to worship god, so all of these curses came upon them. All words are come truth as the Load says. How the heart of a man wicked and persists in going his own way?
People will curious in many unknown things, so someone will try to study the witch or the medium. All these are detestable things. The words written in the Bible are reveal to us, let us can obey it and get the blessing from the Lord.
How?
Focus on the Bible and understand the heart of the Lord, to be his hands work for Him, and be the voice of the Lord to preach gospel to others.

They might know that the Lord is their God

Deuteronomy 29:1-15
These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelite on Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them in Horeb.
Israelite have seen many great trials, wonders and miraculous signs, but to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understandings or eyes that see or ear that hear.
During the 40 years Israelite in desert, their clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on their feet. They ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. So that they might know that the Lord is their God.
I am making this covenant,with its oath, not only with you who are standing here today in presence of the Lord our God but also with those who are not here today.
Why?
Moses make covenant with the Israelite again, before they enter the promised land, this covenant make them could live peace and abundant in the land God gives them.
40 years experience and have seen many miraculous signs, but they still can not understand the mind of the Lord, so as many people cannot understand the Lord now. Its need the Holy Spirit to open their heart and eyes.
In those 40 years the blatant sign is the clothes, sandals did not war out, and they ate no bread and wine, the Lord provided everything for their living in the desert.
The covenant is a everlasting terms to Israelite.
How?
The blood of Jesus shed for our sin is a great mercy and wonder, when we repent and turn our heart to the Lord, obey His words,the covenant of the the Lord build the everlasting relationship with us.
I am the son of the Lord, a new relationship with the Lord.
The chosen men are less in the world.

There is not ambiguous place on the way of serving the Lord

Deuteronomy 28:45-68
If you don't obey the Lord your God, all these curse will come upon you. They will be a sign and a wonder to you ad your descendants forever.
Serve the Lord joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity  verse to Serve the enemies in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty.
The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away from the ends of the earth like an eagle swooping down.
Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters.
If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law which are written in this book, and do not reverse this glorious and awesome name- the Lord your God- the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants.
All the Lord said has happened on Israelite a hundred years later, it shows His word is never failed in this book.
Why?
The Lord said these words and warning messages before it take place, indicated that these are the consequences of the sin of our own and it is allowed by the Lord. The Israelite will know these were the punishment from the Lord.
All of the words in this book are proved be truth in past 2011 history.
How?
Carefully read and obey the commands of the Lord is the best choice. There is not ambiguous place on the road of serving the Lord.
May the blessing of the Lord come upon me.

No any fruits in your field grow up.
Reputation:

No one like be curse, this is the consequences of our choice. Obey the Lord or walk your own way.
How?

Repent and obey the Lord

Deuteronomy 28:15-24
If you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
place: in the city and in the country; come in and go out.
working: basket ad kneading trough
procession: fruit and crop of you land an the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
Disease: plagues, fever, inflammation, scorching heat,... until you perish.
Weather: rain turn to dust and powder.
The curses are opposites of the blessings: disease, famine, defeat, subservience and ultimately exile, loss of homeland and all the joys of life
Why?
The Lord is the creator of the man, He loves us, hopes us live with peace and joy. When we turn away from the Lord, that will be the slave of the evil, finally is destroy ourselves to dead. It is not the Lord attack us, it is the sin lead us to perish. Wicked man lost the blessing of the Lord.
How?
The Jesus Christ is our savior from the sin and death. He is the only to the eternal life.
Curses and blessing are here, most important is my choice. Certainly I choose obey the commands of the Lord.
