Reading: Colossians 2, Judges 1-2, and Psalm 133
Scripture: Judges 2:3, So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
Observation: Here in Judges God reminded then the he told Israel to drive out everyone and take the land as their own. Of course instead of following God’s directions the let them stay in the mist of them.
Application: No matter when you came to know Jesus as your Lord and savior, and develop a relationship with our Father, we all have a tendency to leave some of the inhabitants of our heart in there. God called us to cast them all out. I think that one of the main reasons that we let some stay is we are Lazy, we don’t want to put the work in to get them out. We are blessed that we have the Holy Spirit who will help us go back to kicking these inhabitants out, but until they are gone they will be a thorn in your side.
Prayer: Father I thank you for your Holy Spirit and the guidance, strength and help he gives us with removing the thorns from our sides and process of casting out the former inhabitants of our heart.
