Friday!

Proverbs!

Proverbs 3:33-35 AMP

[33] The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just and righteous. [34] Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners, Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance]. [35] The wise will inherit honor and glory, But dishonor and shame is conferred on fools.

Proverbs 3:33-35 AMP

Before we get carried away with God cursing my house, remember that we're in Proverbs, about 1000 years before Jesus, & God was known to intervene in some spectacular ways in the lives of his people.

And this word "curses" carries with it "judgement"

So what can we take from this?

How about this:

Our God sees all the awful things that people do to one another.

He knows their hearts, and he knows mine.

That there is Grace.

And that Jesus took on the curse, the judgement, and made the way for us.

He has prepared an inheritance for us already

So we get to Live in Freedom, live as best we can in line with who God has shown Himself to be, confident that Jesus took on the curse/judgement that was ours, and that one day, there'll be an inheritance, prepared in advance for us, all will be made new, all hurt unhurt, the upsidedown Kingdom in all it's beauty and grace and goodness will be our home.

We'll be Home.
