We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
Come Follow Me FHE lessons include everything you need to make daily scripture study fun for your kids! Teach your children to love the gospel with our engaging family activities. Start your free trial today!

Go & Do Activity
Before beginning, set up an obstacle course that would be easy for your toddler to complete. If you don’t want to make a mess, you could go outside and draw an obstacle course with chalk! At random points during the course, place stop signs. Start the lesson by singing “Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, p. 160). Next, explain to your child that Heavenly Father has given us our agency, which means He has allowed us to make choices. Read D&C 58:27-29 and explain that we need to use our agency to make good choices. Heavenly Father promises that if we make good choices, we will be blessed! Complete the obstacle course and have your child collect their reward!

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
