Israel was a testimony of the
fact that the blessing of God
comes when we obey Him. But
Israel was also a testimony
of the fact that the curse of
God, the enmity of God, comes
upon them that disobeys Him.

If that was all we knew of
Israel's past, it should still
drive us to spiritual obedience.

To follow the Lord is the only
key to blessing and prosperity.
To turn from Him and follow
idols or go our own way causes
desperate problems. It should
be a lesson to all of us.
