When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone's way, He causes their enemies to make peace with them. (Proverbs 16:7)
In Genesis 12:3 we read God’s promise to Abraham, "I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Here, firstly we see that God promises Abraham that He will bless Him. Not only did God assure to bless Abraham but also assures him that He will curse those who curse him.

You are destined to receive blessings all the time being under the mighty wings of our Lord. Only blessing and no curse any more. I would like to quote an interesting verse found in Proverbs 16:7 which says, "When the LORD takes pleasure in anyone's way, He causes their enemies to make peace with them." There will be no more enemies for the children of God. People may try to give you a hard time but they will fail miserably. They will have no chance to get any closer to you. After spending most of their time and energy, finally, they will say “I am not able to touch this family”. Eventually, they will come to know about our Lord and will receive Him in their heart. They will become your friend. No arrow of the enemy will be able to touch you.
People of different beliefs visit the tomb of Abraham at Israel all through the year. One can find Arabs, Jews and Christians visiting that place. If you notice the Arabs, they consider Abraham as their father. The Jews too consider Abraham as their forefather. And Abraham is known to the Christians as their father of faith. Jews and Arabs are at constant war with each other. However, when they visit the tomb of Abraham they are in unity with each other. That is the blessing that God placed in Abraham. Everyone loved Abraham. He is the father of their nation.
Today God will make everyone to love you. He will make you a father and a mother unto them. God is going to make every enemy of yours to go in peace with you. So don’t worry about your enemies anymore. Today we are only going to look up to God and we are going to ask God for a faithful heart and God will do the rest for us. We read in James 2:23 that “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called “God’s friend.” We see that Abraham was a friend of God. God will place His blessing upon us in abundance; a special blessing my friend which is to be called a friend of God. It is a unique privilege. When we become a faithful person and live a life pleasing to God, God will call us as His friend. Today would you want to receive such blessing? Ask God to make you a faithful person.
