GOD IS WITH US
(Judges 4:1-7)
Giving up old gods
was easier said than done
and old ways returned.
Joshua’s people
saw Jabin’s oppressive rule
as God’s punishment.
Even now some see
their burden being from God
for ‘unfaithfulness’.
But that’s seeing God
as no better than Jabin
and self as ‘guilty’.
Faithfulness wavers
and stuff happens in our lives
yet God is with us.
