(S)cripture-
Judges 10:14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble.
(O)bservation-
We serve a very loving God but He is also very jealous. We are commanded to have no other gods before Him - if people worship other gods, that is the greatest sin that can be committed against our Living God. In this verse, even though God has protected and provided for His chosen people time and time again and led them to the Promised Land, they still forsook Him and worshipped other gods. God had enough and made this statement to His people. Other gods consist of inanimate objects and evil spirits - doomed is the person who worships any of these or expects protection from them in times of trouble.
(A)pplication-
My great refuge and hope is in the true Living God - the God of Abraham who sent His Son Jesus Christ to redeem and restore us. I will never put anything ahead of God. He has always protected me in times of trouble and great distress and provides for my needs in all situations. Because of His amazing grace and mercy I am truly free, and my life is fully committed to serving Him and doing His Kingdom work here on this earth.
(P)rayer-
Father, from the bottom of my heart and depth of my soul I declare that there are no other gods before You. Thank You for always being there and hearing my prayers - for providing for me and protecting me in times of trouble. I commit everything to You because You alone are worthy of all praise and worship. I love and trust in You and thank You for being my God, my loving and merciful Father in Heaven. In Jesus' name, Amen.
