Let’s get Personal…
Activity: It is interesting that throughout the Bible, God tells us that if we obey Him and keep His
commandments, 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 were 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?
