Intense Blessings or Intense Curses: Deuteronomy 28:1-68
Butt Whippin’ a Demon: Luke 11:14-36
I Will Remember the Deeds of the Lord: Psalm 77:1-20
Reckless Words Pierce Like a Sword: Proverbs 12:18
Deuteronomy 28 seems pretty intense. There’s no middle ground. Either the Israelites will follow God’s laws and be really, really blessed, or they’ll disobey Him and be cursed so bad they’ll eat each other for food.
When I read it I always go, “Duh. Not a complicated choice here. Choose the Lord’s way and be blessed.” It does seem pretty simple.
Yet, the distinction between Heaven & Hell is much greater than even the distinction between the blessings and the curses of Old Testament times. Jesus is the obvious choice. Choosing Jesus is choosing Heaven instead of Hell.
Now the question is, who will choose wisely? I hope everybody in our youth group makes a wiser choice than the Israelites did.
