—Judges 2:16-23
by: Paula Davis.
God’s people can be so stubborn! God had compassion on the Israelites and gave them judges to save them from their enemies, but the Israelites continued to choose a path apart from the Lord. They continued their idolatry and disobedience, refusing to acknowledge the provision of the Lord. Generations later we continue to be a stubborn people, ignoring God’s promises to us when we obey him and not acknowledging those he has put in authority over us, whether we agree or disagree with them. God will not reward his children when they are disobedient.
