A Vicious Cycle!

At the moment I am reading through Judges.....the time in Israel's history where everyone "did what was right in their own eyes".

No so terribly different from now....except there are no national spokesmen or women standing up and speaking for God.

Ehud was one of the judges....he cleaned up a lot of Philistines and saved the nation once again.

The people were happy and thankful......but they soon forgot....

"......the Israelites, once again did evil in the eyes of the LORD. So the LORD sold them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Caanan......cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the LORD for help.(Judges 4:1-3)

That is the continual pattern of the Book of Judges.

It is not so terribly different from the pattern of people today - calling out to God in need, but not acknowledging Him when things are going well.

TFTD: Let's be careful that it not our pattern.


Have a Great Day,
