Week 12 Day 2: Obedience and Disobedience
Question
What are the blessings for being obedient and the punishments for disobedient?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
-
Proclaim the blessings and punishments after the covenant was made.
-
Verses 3 to 13 are the blessings: rain comes, crop grows, peace in the land, and Israelites’ number increase.
-
Verses 14-46 are the punishments: disasters, crop dies, losing war, famine, and people die. Not all disaster would come all at once. God always give His people chances to repent and turn around. Each time a disaster strikes, the next disaster comes only “
if in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me.
”
Meditation: My Story
-
Identity – God blesses His people. He blesses those who obey His commands and love Him. Do I often see God’s mercy and love by counting the blessings He has bestowed on me?
-
Integrity – God sends disaster to people not to punish them but to give them a chance to turn around. What characters of God do I realize from the incremental disasters He places? Have I in my life been reminded or impeded by Holy Spirit? Am I willing to understand His will and turn around to obey Him?
