Finally, the pressure and the pain got so severe that the people of Israel cried out in unison for the Lord to take away their oppressors and restore them. They knew that they have failed miserably as His people and were now looking for the Lord for relief. God was quick to remind them of what they chose and told them to rely on their "gods" rather than Him. They knew that only He could save so they got rid of their idols and purge themselves of the evil that they had created. God was and always is a God that will forgive and doesn't want His people to suffer. However, they had to show true repentance. According to the commentary, even though they were willing to change a little - God was ready to forgive them.
Prayers continue for my mom also for GG who is in the process of returning to Denver after getting his stuff ready for his interview. Prayers for him as well that God will open the doors He wants open and will close the doors that will not be in His plan for him. Not looking forward to Friday's commute but ya gotta do what ya gotta do....
Praise for today: Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him because he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91: 14-16
