Deliver Us this Day!

The Inescapable God
God Protects

Judges 10:10-16 (The Message)

 ¹⁰ The People of Israel cried out to God for help: "We've sinned against you! We left our God and worshiped the Baal gods!"
 ^11-14 God answered the People of Israel: "When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines, Sidonians—even Amalek and Midian!—oppressed you and you cried out to me for help, I saved you from them. And now you've gone off and betrayed me, worshiping other gods. I'm not saving you anymore. Go ahead! Cry out for help to the gods you've chosen—let them get you out of the mess you're in!"
 ¹⁵ The People of Israel said to God: "We've sinned. Do to us whatever you think best, but please, get us out of this!"
 ¹⁶ Then they cleaned house of the foreign gods and worshiped only God. And God took Israel's troubles to heart.

For Reflection

God will take your troubles to heart.  In spite of what you have done, God forgives.  Without regard to who you have been, God forgives.  God protects who you are to become. How would you clean your house today in preparation for God's protection.

Pray
prayers of praise and thanksgiving.  Thank God for his steadfast love and protection.  Ask again for Gos to surround you with angel wings and give you comfort and protection.
