April 16, 2012 – Judges 10

Israel falls again.  If you wonder what patience looks like, you need to only read Judges and see how God treat Israel.  But here, He gets a little more aggressive.  “If you want help, go to your other gods and ask them for help.”  To their credit, Israel doesn’t go to the other gods, they tear down everything and continue to plead to God and worship Him.  It almost reminds you of the parable Jesus says about the two sons that are told to do something by their father.  One says he will and doesn’t, one says he won’t but ends up doing it.
