Judges 10 - Praying God's Word

Please read Judges 10.

Meditate on verses 13-14.

Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods;

therefore I will no longer deliver you. 

Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen;

 let them deliver you in the time of your distress.

God’s conversation with the children of Israel in this chapter is unlike any other recorded in Judges. Listen to it carefully and apply it to your life.

When the oppressed Israelites again cried to God, He reminded them of all the times He delivered them in the past, yet every time, they cycled back into forsaking Him and serving other gods (vs. 10-13). Enough was enough! This time, the LORD told them to cry out to those gods for help (v 14).

Are you caught in the sin cycle? Is the LORD saying, “Enough is enough! Let the gods you have forsaken Me for, take care of you”? Of course, the LORD knows those gods will never take care of you but will destroy you. He is waiting for you to come to your senses, confess your sins, and commit yourself wholeheartedly to Him. He is heartbroken over your misery and mercifully wants you to return to Him.

Pray Judges 10:15 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, _______ and I have sinned. 

Do to us whatever seems good to You;

only please deliver us this day.

In Your name, Jesus~”
