Scripture
Judges 4-5, Psalms 107:23-43, Romans 9-11
Observation
So after Ehud died Israel did evil in the site of the Lord. So He SOLD them into slavery. What God sold His people? First of all to sell something you must poses it. So even though Israel was not following God they were still His people. Now verse 4 of chapter 4 tells us that Deborah was a prophetess and that she was judging Israel at that time. So even though the people had turned away from God He still was active. Sending His judge and Prophetess to the people. Obviously they were hearing from God before they were sold into slaver.
Side Note:
It was Jael that killed Sisera the commander of Jabin king of Canaan army, by driving a tent peg into his head.
Application
God is God even if we don’t acknowledge Him as God and he sill loves us even when we do crazy thing. The scriptures never tell us that God was mad just that Israel did evil His site. He probably was mad but His wrath is justified because He is God. Remember He cannot sin. He sold Israel to Jabin so he could save them. So He could get their attention. Where is God trying to get my attention?
Prayer
Father God, I love You! Thank You for Your live and kindness to me when I don’t deserve it. Open my eyes today to the areas in my life were You are trying to get my attention. Thank You.
