Faith Lessons from the Division of Israel
Explore how pride and poor counsel fractured Israel’s kingdom and how God’s grace works through brokenness over 21 days.
📖 Introduction
The story of Rehoboam and Jeroboam is one of the most vivid illustrations of human frailty and divine sovereignty in the history of Israel. When King Solomon’s son Rehoboam ascended the throne, pride and bad advice led to the division of the united kingdom. The once unified nation fractured into two rival kingdoms—the northern kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam and the southern kingdom of Judah under Rehoboam.
This division was not merely a political event but a spiritual and relational rupture with lasting consequences for God’s people. It exposes how pride blinds judgment and how poor counsel can lead even the best of leaders into destructive decisions. Yet, even through brokenness, God’s providence is evident, working quietly to fulfill His promises and bring restoration.
Over the next 21 days, this study will guide you through the key moments and lessons from this painful chapter in Israel’s history. Together, we will see how God’s word challenges us to seek wise counsel, embrace humility, and recognize His sovereignty amid human failings. As we reflect on the division of Israel, we will discover hope and encouragement, learning how God’s redemptive purposes shine brightest through our weakest moments.
Join this journey to understand how God works in fractured lives and kingdoms, inviting us into restoration and faithful obedience.
