9.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: It is interesting that throughout the Bible, God tells us that if we will obey Him, and
keep His commandments, that we will be blessed. Remember when the children of Israel
entered the land. They came to Mount Ebal and Mt. Gerizim. Six tribes stood on Ebal and
enumerated the curses of God and six tribes stood on Mt. Gerizim and shared the blessings of
God. Consequences for each where based on obedience or disobedience. It was a picture to the
people, that if they would obey, God would bless them. But if they walked their own way, God would
bring curses against them.
We see this truth as we study the history of Israel and Judah. But this same promise is true today. How
have you seen this demonstrated in your life?
Which way do you want to travel: The road of obedience or the road of rebellion?
