God speaks blessings and curses:
Deuteronomy 11:27-28 (NLT)
You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.
Who says, “I’ll take the curses, thank You very much”?
Not I!
