Some people think God is a hawk, looking down from heaven, pointing a threatening finger at them and watching their every move. No, God’s not like that! He’s the One who loved you even when you were still a sinner, Who sent His Son to die for you and Who is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness when you confess your wrong before Him. God is not looking out for your sins so He can punish you, rather, He’s looking out for you to do you good always. Instead of thinking you cannot hide from His punishment when you do wrong, why not think you cannot hide from His love and blessing because you’re His child? God is a loving Father, and He’s concerned that you get the best He has prepared for you.
When God blesses you, no one can curse you (Genesis 22:17). Not even He can turn around to curse you. And God has surely blessed you! He has called you to inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9) and He’s looking out to see that you enjoy that blessing.
Back in the garden of Eden when Adam sinned, God never cursed him, instead He cursed the ground for his sake (Genesis 3:17). God had already blessed him (Genesis1:27-28) and couldn’t turn around to curse him. Just as James 3:11-12 tells us we do not expect sweet water and bitter water to come from the same fountain, we shouldn’t have blessing and cursing proceeding from the same mouth. You must realize that God is also bound by His Word and this is the principle He lives by. Remind yourself every time that God seeks to do you good. He looks out for you to help you. He makes all things work out for your good (Romans 8:28). When the enemy hatches a plan against you, God turns it around for your good. He is always available to ensure that your life experiences His goodness always.
