Judges 10:6 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals 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 no longer served him
We can look back at the people of Israel and blame them for not following God and running after the gods of the people around them, but we do the same!
We may not be running after the Baals and the Ashtoreths of that time, but we do run after the ones of our own time!
What am I talking about? Anything which takes us away from God and drives a wedge between us and God almighty!
Don’t give in to the temptations because that is exactly what they are – nothing more than temptations!
