Are we all Crazy?

Judges

This book can be an allegory of any person’s life. When reading it I was thinking, are these people sane?!! They’re given everything by God that they need to be satisfied and happy and content. And still they go away, wander off and get lost by worshipping idols. A new generation forgets about that their parents went through and how God saved them.

But these Israelites were going through hell and being mistreated and God sends them a saviour (sound familiar?).  That saviour delivers them from their oppression, idol worship and brings back God’s favour. Because God is faithful, every time the Israelites get themselves into a mess, he hears their call and delivers them. They have peace for 40 years, a new generation comes in and Voila! The same process repeats itself. God is faithful and again and again the process repeats. It goes on like this for many generations until the absolute saviour comes. He has had peace going for more or less 2000 years now.

As people we are much the same, we go to God and because He is faithful, he rescues us. He delivers us from ALL our troubles as the Psalmist writes in Psalm 34. We are grateful and promise God that we are going to be faithful - Until the next distraction arises. Thank goodness that when Jesus rescues me, He does it properly. When God looks at us, He no longer sees me, but He sees His son Jesus. God knows Jesus to be faithful, and so therefore, I am faithful. DO NOT be distracted by the Baals and Ashtoreths of this age. Call on God at ALL times. He is faithful and He will come to the aid of every one of His children. He will never leave you nor forsake you. As he never ever left the Israelites.

He was, is and always will be just a prayer away.  Always listening to the call of our hearts. Open your heart to God and let Him send you an everlasting saviour, who will cover you in Himself and protects you from all who come against you.

AMEN
