Blessings and/or Curses

The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever. (Dt 28:43-45) KJV
Recently I have seen and heard people point out part of this scripture. (That’s the part where aliens or foreigners will rise above the children of God). However, as this scripture points out, it is not because the aliens were there, it was because the people did not follow the commandments of God.
A similar thing can be said about 2 Chronicles 7:14. This is where God says that if the people humble themselves and pray, God will heal their land. BUT,,, the people must turn from their wicked ways.
It seems that so often we look for God to fulfill His promises to us; and protect us; and make us prosper. However, we neglect to even attempt to hold up our end of the bargain. It would do us all well to remember that he further a people slip away from God, the further they are from His Blessings.
