No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.
**********
The Curse:
And unto Adam he said,
Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife,
and hast eaten of the tree,
of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for thy sake;
in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;
and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:
for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Genesis 3:17-19 King James Version
**********
The Blessings:
Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing.
Those blessings come from the heavenly world.
They belong to us because we belong to Christ.
God chose us to belong to Christ before the world was created.
He chose us to be holy and without blame in his eyes.
He loved us.
Ephesians 1:3-4 New International Reader’s Version
The Only Response:
Let the worries go.
Let God’s blessings flow into your life
like springs of living water
or rivers that never run dry.
