Bible Lesson:
Jeroboam was blessed to be chosen as the leader of all of the ten tribes of Israel.
All he had to do was follow Yahweh by walking in all His ways and keeping His commandments. He was going to bless Jeroboam by building him a sure house, just like he did for King David! He would have had a descendant ruling over Israel continually.
However, just like many other kings, he didn’t follow Yahweh but instead made Israel to sin a great sin by turning them away from worshipping Yahweh. So instead of being greatly blessed and remembered as a righteous servant of Yahweh, the Bible says he and his house were blotted out from the face of the earth.
Yahweh doesn’t ask or require much from us, all we have to do is follow Him and His ways with all our heart.
CRAFT CORNER:
What You Will Need:
Paper Plate Heart Stencil pencil Something like a pen to poke holes in the plate with child’s plastic sewing needle yarn scissors paint and paintbrush Glue
How To Do:
1. Start with the stencil and trace the heart on the back of the paper plate with your pencil.
2. Then make even spaced dots on the outline of the heart.
3. With your pen poke holes through each dot. Place something soft underneath the plate so the pen point will poke through. A tea towel works just fine.
4. Next, thread your sewing needle with a long length of yarn, and begin sewing or weaving in and out of the holes stitching back and forth. You can also backstitching. Criss-cross your yarn if you would like to make a pattern. Tip: careful not to take the yarn across the upper-most holes (from the top of one arc to the other) or this will cover up pointy indent in the top of the heart.
5. To secure the yarn when you’re finished sewing, simply knot the loose ends behind the plate. You can cut out the Bible verse and glue to your plate.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34
