Deuteronomy 28: Blessings and Curses

"All these blessings will come and overtake you, because you obey the Lord your God... But if you do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all His commands and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overtake you."
Deuteronomy 28:2,15

If New Year's Eve is an omen of the year to come, my 2012 is going to be full of hard work and abundant rewards.  If New Year's Day is an omen of the year to come, my 2012 is going to be full of miserable illness and restlessness.  Thankfully, God doesn't work like that.  God gives us a choice.  God lets us decide whether our lives will be blessed or cursed.

Question of the Day:
Which do you choose?  Will you follow His commands and live a blessed life?  Or will you ignore His statutes and curse yourself?

Prayer of the Day:
Lord, heal my illness so that I can get back on my feet and work for you once more.  Help me to follow Your commands today.  Teach me to stay on the narrow path, and not stray.  Show me the way of Your heart so that I may live a blessed life with You.  Amen.
