I
rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the hand
of all your oppressors; I drove them out before you and gave you their land. I
said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.”
From
Background Notes [BN] for January 11th & 12th written by Pastor Bob Brown:
While
God placed before them life and death, they chose death. When they cry to God,
His response was first to send the prophet to interpret the chaos of
their otherwise deconstructed lives, and tell them why things have gotten so
bad.
This
is strong medicine, and, like God in Eden, Israel must listen to the voice of
God before deliverance comes. We need to know why we are stuck in our
situation before we can move beyond it. [BN,7]
