The following eight visual reminders are summaries from our previous post, No One Can Curse What God Has Blessed. I hope these illustrations will remind you that no one can alter what God has set apart for you. In fact, God has already preordained the blessings in your life. With confidence, you can say that “who God blesses, no man can curse.”
