the thought that came to mind while reading Judges 3 was.. why do people want to lead their own lives when God has brought them out of their misery before? Israel disobeyed God and led their own lives worshipping other gods and idols. God allowed their enemies to rule over them, they pleaded with God, God sent a deliverer. WHen the deliverer dies, they go back to their own ways, and the whole cycle repeats itself again.
Great is the mercy of God. Not to mention He's pretty patient too, reminding me once again that His main objective is to get us to the point where He will be able to mould and shape us until we will be changed totally into His likeness, the perfect being.
Reading Judges reminds me of how sometimes many, including myself, would choose to let ourselves be in situations that wouldn't quite reflect a life that has been transformed by God.
I always try not to let condemnation and guilt overwhelm me and comfort myself thinking; I am aware and that is good, and I am praying to be a better person each day, and I will be a better person with every passing day.
Die to self is such a 2009 theme. Isn't life purposeful and exciting? :)
