Judges 8-12
What God said to me – The children of Israel were a fickle people. They continually wavered between Me and the world. They would be drawn into sin and serve the gods of the people around them, but when they were afflicted, they would cry out to Me to save them. They would turn back to Me temporarily and promise to obey. After I saved them and their lives went back to “normal”, they would begin to slip away again. Those who claim to be My children, My church, are much the same today. They slip into the world and approve their sin but when disaster strikes, they cry out to Me. Don’t be one of those. Be wholly devoted to Me. Let Me cleanse you and bind your heart to Me.
