 We exist in a state of eternal existence, yet we are subjected to the consequences of a curse that ultimately leads to death. It is undesirable for anyone to have to endure the pain associated with this curse. When considering our eternal existence, it is important to determine if the pain stems solely from our perception of time and space, or if it is rooted in a metaphysical sense of helplessness. In essence, the metaphysical aspect of death implies a complete absence of hope. I firmly believe that anxiety arises from a lack of certainty in the fact that God's sovereignty serves as the clear boundary between blessings and curses. It is not merely a hope for a painless future, but rather a recognition that every event on this earth is divinely orchestrated due to God's unwavering justice and righteousness.What is the reason behind our feeling threatened by this unadulterated expression of both cursing and blessing? It is because we tend to rely on our own rationality and practicality to justify our actions. It is our inherent tendency to believe that we have complete autonomy. We genuinely believe that we have the capability to navigate the realm of good and evil solely through our own abilities. However, true liberation lies in surrendering to God's definitive declaration of blessing and cursing, relinquishing our entitlement to control our own lives. We may believe that we can voluntarily relinquish our lives, but in reality, it is a consequence of surrendering to God's justice, which overrides our limited understanding of justice.We surrender our existence when our anger is consumed in the divine righteousness. We relinquish our lives when we recognize the vast disparity between our limited influence and God's omnipotent control. As long as we maintain a diminished perception of God's greatness, we will remain confined to our own subjective notions of right and wrong. However, once we elevate ourselves to align with God's flawless standard of prosperity and adversity, we transcend our own self-centeredness and find liberation from the burden of self-control.
