Scripture: Judges 3:12
"And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord."
Scripture Reference: Judges 3:12
We can never let our guard down from the enemy. Israel once again did evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord. A nation "doing evil in the sight of the Lord" didn't just happen overnight. They allowed themselves to be slowly lulled to sleep by the enemy. Let this be a lesson to us, to our families and kids, and to our churches across the nation. Charles Spurgeon said,
"God never allows his people to sin successfully. Their sin will either destroy them or it will move the chastisement and chastening of God upon their lives."
The Body of Christ gets messed up in many ways because we don't walk in God's Spirit. And if you're not walking by faith or you're not reading your Bible, the tendency will be there for you to get into things you shouldn't. "They did evil in the sight of the Lord" will haunt you the rest of your life if you don't crucify those evil desires and thoughts. But if you're a man or a woman prone to prayer, it's very difficult not to be a broken and humble person. The more you spend time in the throne room of God's presence, the more of His character that you make your own, the more you will realize that the fleshly lifestyle isn't the kind of life you want to live. Don't allow the enemy to take possession of your life. Surrender it fully to the Lord Jesus and start walking in His Spirit.
