Deuteronomy 28:20 (New Living Translation)
20 The Lord himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me.
God is warning the people through Moses. There are curses to come for those who disobey the law God has decreed. The above sentence is from a summary of the curses. Note how confusion and frustration are right up their with curses. Confusion is pretty important.
Can’t think straight? Can’t quite seem to “get it?” Something is wrong, but you can’t “put your finger on it?” Confusion.
Our society talks much about mental illness these days. Is that another term for confusion? I don’t want to imply that mental illness is a punishment for sin. There are many of us on many days when confusion reigns. I hate those days. I live in a sin-filled world. Confusion often replaces clarity. The greater accomplishments of mankind are often thwarted by confusion. Any wonder why?
