This is beyond our rational understanding.

Micah’s mother, who had cursed the person who stole her 1,100 silver coins

without realizing it was her own son, heard Micah confess,

"I took it," as he returned the silver. She then said, "

The Lord bless you, my son!"

Not only that, but Micah’s mother gave 200 of the 1,100 silver coins

to a silversmith to make an idol for her son Micah,

which was kept in Micah’s house

(Judges 17:1-4).

Do you understand this?

How could she curse the thief, and upon discovering it was her son,

turn around and say, "The Lord bless you"?

However, in reality, because of Adam's sin,

we too were cursed and spiritually dead, destined to be eternally condemned.

But God loved us first and granted us salvation

by enabling us to believe in Jesus Christ,

receiving all of God's spiritual blessings

(Ephesians 1:3).

This is beyond our rational understanding.

We can only humbly accept it through faith.
