Judges 10:6-16. He will return.

We did a post not too long that touched on the subject of God always returning and that no one can be too far gone. This reading is all about that. The people in this story were doing all the wrong things, worshipping false Gods, they quit serving the Lord and He became angry with them. As soon as something bad happened they decided they need God in their life again and He tells them to let their new Gods save them. I think this is so powerful because these people are asking for the Lord because in their hearts they know their false Gods wont be of any help. But in the last two verses they give up their false Gods and start worshipping the Lord alone and he could bear Israel's misery no longer. After all the wrong these people did God STILL loved them and couldn't bear to see them struggling. All these people had to do to gain Gods hand was simply repent. They expressed their sins, the fact they were in the wrong and God reached out His hand for them and they were saved.


Reflect: 

Are you making choices that anger God? 

All of us sin. Do you make a conscious effort of repenting so God canreach his hand out for you? 

When you think hard about it are you really so much better than these people?
