In the pursuit of holiness and loving one another as Christ has loved us, we must consider the consequences of our actions as outlined in Proverbs 26. The instruction is clear that blessing or cursing lies in the power of what we sow. What we sow becomes the precipitator of what we reap. If we set our course by doing unto others as we would have others do unto us, the path is cleared for the right results to be given by God as He promises.

In the pursuit of both spiritual and physical health, a vital principle emerges from Proverbs 26:2, stating that a curse without cause shall not come. This underscores the understanding that diseases are not random occurrences but are caused, often by neglect or failure to adhere to right principles. By the same token, blessings are also caused, and following God's laws, as outlined in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, will produce good health, both physical and spiritual. Conversely, breaking these laws results in curses. God sets before us the choice between life and death, urging us to choose life. Over this choice, we hold significant control, empowered to do what is right and avoid the curses that stem from disregard of His laws.

There is a proverb which states that a curse causeless shall not come. There is always something that triggers a curse. Circumstances are caused, and reasons exist behind the conditions of life, whether they bring good or ill. Even when God does not directly cause these circumstances, as the sovereign Lord, He holds the power to start or stop anything according to His will. Thus, in all events, His involvement must be considered, for there are underlying causes to every outcome, including curses that arise from specific triggers.

The curse causeless shall not come. We are reaping, as a body, what we have sown. Just as walls can sometimes be a symbol of displaced trust—a faith with no reality to it—we can fall into the same trap spiritually. There was a time when many felt that merely being with the church guaranteed safety, but this was a careless, neglectful attitude. Fellowshipping with the church without the right attitude and conduct fosters a delusion that everything is acceptable, yet it ignores God's moral and ethical demands. By doing so, it is as if we tell God that attendance alone grants relief from guilt accrued in other aspects of life. God makes it clear that He expects us to keep His commandments as part of the love relationship established through His calling and the work of Jesus Christ. This relationship, a courtship leading to marriage, requires our dedication and devotion in every aspect of life, showing Him that we truly love Him and preparing us to live with Him eternally.
