The writer then tells us what the book is about. The people left God. They did evil things and they praised the Baals. Then God allowed their enemies to defeat them. And he allowed the enemies to divide them. The people cried out to the Lord. He sent judges to rescue them. Even then, they only changed their behaviour for a short time. After the judge had died, they were worse than ever!
So it seems that man after all of these centuries have not learned the lessons that were set forth by God since Creation. If my people... How true is that verse! We have gotten worse in our lack of standards and morality and need a turnaround but somehow I don't feel it is coming soon. I for one am very disappointed in the events and the news that I hear. Still I do have hope. Looking forward to coming back home and to FW later on. I along with several others in my church will be serving at a NYC soup kitchen called a Father's Heart and really look forward to that. Later on that night will head up and see Avalon in PA.
Prayers for my family and friends!!!
Praise for today: The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people. Psalm 69: 33
