Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Afflictions are not the same as the curse of the law.... the curse of the law is sickness and disease and destructions and so forth... the bible says that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law... having become a curse for us when He hang on the cross.... so wat is the affliction that God allow us to go thru? it is more likely the blessing of God which causes envy and jeolousy of the people or waiting for His promises to come to pass... Joseph was so blessed that his brothers envied him and threw him into the pit... God kept prospering him thru the dungeon to Potiphar to Pharaoh side... God kept prospering him... yet there was affliction of jeolousy of his brothers or even false accusation from Potiphar's wife and even waiting in jail for the promise of being the Prime Minister of Israel... all these are the affliction of the righteous...
Today whatever you are going thru... dun lose heart... keep believing and trusting Him.

Blessed man
Jeremiah 17:5-8
Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but tis leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor cease from yielding fruit.
Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.... however this life flows when we put our trust in His Word and promises..... when we turn our eyes from man toward God... we enter the rest of God... we come into faith... and as we put our trust in Him the flow of God or the peace of God begins to flow thru us and work in us.... in the year of drought and difficulty.. .God doesnt want us to look to men or to arm of flesh.. but to look to Him for counsel and hope... He doesnt disappoint us... today... make a decision to keep believing in His promises and remember that Hope does not disappoint becos the love of God has been poured out to us thru the Holy Spirit...
