April 24, 2020- Friday-#206- Daily Bible Reading and Meditation- Old Testament Judges 10 KJV
***[13] Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. [14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.***
[7] And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
[10] And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
[11] And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
[12] The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
[13] Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
[14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
Words to ponder for today:
The gods which Ye Have Chosen
The roller-coaster- like faith of The Israelites wearied GOD. Their unstable faith in The GOD, who have been faithful to them in delivering them always in their troubles, every time they became enslaved of their own choices, made GOD get fist off; loosen them from His love, and allowed them to be in great distress. Because they left their state in GOD’s loving protection and served the gods of those people to whom they befriend and keep company with, which The LORD commanded them not to be equally yoked.
This is now the situation of most people who are in great distress because of this pandemic. They called upon GOD, but the gods whom they think to be the God who answers prayers and sustain them their need, is not really The GOD who has power over all things.
If only people knew. If only they accept and believe. That The GOD, The Creator of all things, have given Only One Way, One Truth and One Life, in coming to Him. And that is not through many idols and dead saints they desperately calling.
It is Only Through GOD’s Only Son CHRIST JESUS, who speak to His chosen people Israel. Who lead them, who fight for them; The Only LORD and Deliverer who have spoken to them in this verse:
“[11] And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?”
The One who also spoken this words: John 14:6 KJV
“[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Now, if you are calling GOD in the name of other dead saints such as “Mother of perpetual help, or the goddess that was named after Mary the earthly mother of The LORD JESUS, which none of them who called her, knew that that goddess is actually Astaroth mentioned in verse 6, other saints such as The LORD’s disciples or other canonized by this influential universal religion’s saints, or other idols from another gods, then I fell sorry for you. Because surely The LORD is also speaking to you now: “go, and call the gods which ye have chosen”; for surely, curses catastrophe and calamities will keep coming back to you to bring you great distress. Worst of all, you’ll never come to the full knowledge of the salvation of GOD which He has given only through His Son JESUS CHRIST.
But if you are up to getting peace and answer prayer from The True GOD, let me strongly suggest to you:
⁃ Accept JESUS CHRIST Only as your personal LORD and Savior.
⁃ Believe Only that He alone saves.
⁃ Call Only upon His Name and,
⁃ Depart from evil of idolatrous worship.
Then and only then, you will be able to enter into GOD’s blessed rest.
May GOD’s mercy and grace, lead you in His ways; that you may fully know The True GOD also, who gave and gives me peace, protection and provision now and always.
Have a pleasant day ahead!
Judges 10:1-18 KJV
[1] And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. [2] And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir. [3] And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. [4] And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead. [5] And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. [6] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not him. [7] And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. [8] And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. [9] Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed. [10] And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. [11] And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? [12] The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. [13] Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. [14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. [15] And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. [16] And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord : and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. [17] Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. [18] And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
***[13] Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. [14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.***
