Apostasy and the Judges

The Israelites forsake God! Hmmmm, who knew this would happen! This is the nature of sin. When they did not listen to God and kill all the people, you knew they would eventually give int o their pagan ways! God even warned them of this! You are who you hang with!!!!!

Now God gives Israel Judges to help them succeed, but as soon as each judge passes away, the Israelites are quick to go back to idolatry. But as we all know (easier said then done) the choices of evil has consequences. You see God see the long term results of our choices Whether they be good or bad choices. While on the other hand we only see the here and now or the short term results of our choices. Now wouldn't it be safe to say that one of the smartest and wise choices we can make would be to read and trust in scripture? Scripture tell us what those long tern affects are going to be. All we have to do is read it! The choice is ours. When we read scripture, trust it and have faith in God it will help us to make better and more correct choices!!!
