Then the Israelites disobey the LORD by worshiping foreign gods, and they are conquered by the Philistines and the Ammonites. Once again, the Israelites cry out to the LORD for deliverance from their enemies, but God chooses not to rescue them. The people then get rid of their Canaanite idols and the LORD becomes “troubled over Israel’s distress.” Today’s Scripture: Judges 10:16a They got rid of their foreign gods and worshiped the LORD.

Are there times in your life when you have not put God first? Pray Holy God, you alone are God and I worship only you. Teach me each day to remember and to thank you for your steadfast love and care and help me to avoid any temptation that would lead me astray. Amen.
