Text: Judges 2:16-23
The new generation did not see the work of Yahweh, so they did not believe. As a result they worshipped false gods. Yahweh sent them judges that people could see, military champions, whom God would use to bring deliverance from enemies of Israel. When the people saw what God would do, they turned to Him for the salvation of their souls and worshipped Him. But each new generation turned away (v.19) from the truth.
Humanity desperately needs a Saviour. Just as Adam failed and Israel failed, we all fail, and we need to fully realize that. We all desperately need a Saviour. Jesus is the perfect Man, the perfect Israel, and the perfect Champion for His people. Trust that Jesus won the great spiritual battles, but especially trust that He will save you from your personal sin as well as
the deserved penalty and bring you into eternal life.
Meditate on verse 16-17. What is God teaching you in these verses?
Merciful Father, I thank You, in the name of Jesus Christ, for Your loving kindness; for You have always given me chance to repent. Amen.
