No curse without a cause

The operation of blessings and curses in our lives is not haphazard or unpredictable. On the contrary, both of them operate according to eternal, unchanging laws. It is to the Bible, once again, that we must look for a correct understand-ing of these laws.

In Proverbs 26:2 Solomon establishes this principle with respect to curses: "A curse without cause shall not alight." Behind every curse that comes upon us, there is a cause.

If it seems that we are under a curse, we should seek to determine its cause. Then we shall be in a position to take appropriate action against it. This will also silence that nagging question:

"Why do things like this always happen to me?"

This section lays bare the causes of the main curses that commonly afflict our lives. After reading it, you will be better able to understand and apply God's remedy, which is un-folded in the third section.
