Ethel wrote a comment on a previous post. Here is a pasting of it:
Would you think and pray, about writing an article on "how God's promises affect us today and also curses"...
-----------------------------------------------------------
First, we have to remember that God has been around forever. That is an infinite time. Furthermore, he doesn't change. It is us that change. If we think back 6 months prior from today, not many of us can say that we are the same as we were then. We are constantly learning and evolving, some for better and some for worse.
But God is a constant in our lives and has always been. Therefore his promises are meant to affect us today the same as they did yesterday, the same as they did 6 months ago or years ago. The same as they were meant for Moses and Abraham. One of the characteristics that makes my faith so solid is I know I can always count on His word, His promises, His covenants, His everything.
What always changes is people, but never Him. For lack of better words, we then expect God to change and fit into our mental box we have built. I can't say He will or won't but I seriously doubt it. Keeping it simple like the series I was last working on called Christianity for Dummies, we need to remember that God loves us, only gives us one mission, ten commandments, and to accept His son as our Lord and Savior. I know that is putting it simply and that there is more, but I am amazed how many don't follow His commandments, haven't turn all over to Him, nor work towards the one mission He gives us, yet they expect our Father to still fit into that proverbial box.
I was talking to a man last week. He told me he was a believer. I asked him what he believed in. His reply was "all of it" I asked "all of what?" After waggling for a few minutes I finally asked him if he had read all of the Bible, as most say, he told me he hadn't. I then asked him how does he know he believes all if he hasn't even read ALL God's word and all that He has given us in His word.
Well this is getting onto a tangent but the main point of this is that God' promised today mean the same thing they have met everyday since the day he gave them to us. The Bible will reveal this to you and the words in it have not changed either just as His promises have not changed.
Blessings,
Michael
