Disobedience, servitude, cries for help, and God answers. What a mighty God and patient God we serve.

Thank goodness He is a far better Father than I could ever be a parent!

Judges 10
Wow, 2 godly leaders back to back giving Israel extended peace. It is interesting that these judges are coming from different tribes.

But this time when they cry out to God after years of oppression and hardship God gives them a stinging word: don’t turn to me, turn to the gods that you are following. A fitting question for us at times, yes? But it is in the context of repentance and forsaking the false gods, that God in His mercy is willing to help. It is truly amazing that no matter how often we stray, there is always a path of confession and repentance to get back on track. But God loves us and is with us through it all. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound….
