Under Gods Command
Jephithah
Judges 10:6-9 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD. They served the Baal and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the LORD and on longer served him, he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, who that year shatter and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites. The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was in great distress. Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, “We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”
Once again the Israelites suffered for many years before they gave up their sinful ways and called out to God for help. Notice that when the Israelites were at the end of their rope they did not look to their pagan gods for help, but to the only One was really able to help.
Lets bring it home: In your last resort? So much unnecessary suffering takes place because we don’t call on God until we’ve used up all other resources. Rather than waiting until the situation becomes desperate, turn to God first. He has the necessary resources to meet every kind of problem.
