Genesis 3:7 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

Adam sinned therefore, the ground was cursed and mankind has to painfully toil for everything he consumes.

In today’s time, due to the cursed nature of the ground, mankind has invented some of the craziest ways to mass produce our food. We have toxic pesticides to kill the bugs and weeds from the crops, hormones injected into some of our meats, and now we’re cloning animals to eat.

With all that’s going on with our food, it gives us a good reason to pray. In Luke 9:16, Jesus gave us an example of blessing our food when he blessed the bread at the Lord’s Supper. Jesus also told us whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18).

With the authority we have granted to us by Jesus, let’s be sure to bless our food that was created by this cursed ground.
