GOD's chosen people had chosen themselves another god to worship.... whether out of compliance or disdain....they had broken HIS commandment... Thou Shalt Have No Other gods before me. Literally days after their rescue in exile, they have fallen for the god of the Amorites! Short attention span, huh? Today?...well there are many so-called gods in Christian hearts....wealth, stature, power, sex, drugs, and the list continues ad nauseum. Yet we seem to be able to over look that, and worship a watered down version of the gospel....whatever works for you attitude! HIS grace & love are new every morning....I rely on that!

Gideon, as with many of us, finds himself in the midst of circumstances that are not always of his choice, but we understand that GOD chose him for that exact reason. He stood above the crowd, yet was also caught up in the midst of punishment because of his relationships. Who better to lead the people of Israel than one who understands their plight. GOD does not abandon us in times of trouble, but neither will HE condone the sin we commit. Thus we must understand that justice comes when we reap the consequences of our behavior. The LORD wants us to turn from our wicked ways just as he wanted the people of Israel to return to their first love. GOD will always leave the choice to us, and we must live with the decision... good or bad. We must remember that our lives are blessed by a GOD who has established HIS laws and precepts that will guide us and direct our path. Can we blame HIM? Hardly! Who can blame GOD for upholding the law that HE established. We are blessed to know that HE walks each step with us.
