—Judges 2:18-23

Who or what is your Baal? What idols do you serve that pull you away from God? Is it money, success, position, education, gambling, drinking and drugs, excessive spending, always trying to one-up the other guy? Any purpose that comes before God is an idol. As long as we yield to sin, God leaves us to our own will and consequences. Just as with his defiant and weak children of old, God allows us to make choices and reap punishment by the world. The world is so evil, and the enemy is so strong, that God doesn’t have to punish us. He leaves it to us to punish ourselves.
