“From the day that the ark arrived in Kiryat-Ye`arim a long time elapsed, twenty years; and all the people yearned for Adonai.”
1 Samuel 7:2 CJB
The Ark comes back to Israel, but for twenty years the children of Israel continued in sin! God is so good, that even when we are deep in sin, He patiently waits for us to come back to our senses and desire Him!
“Don’t be fooled. Bad company ruins good character. Come to your senses! Live righteously and stop sinning! There are some people who lack knowledge of God–I say this to your shame.”
1 Corinthians 15:33-34 CJB
God really doesn’t want us hanging out with sinners or living in sin! Why? Because they will always lead us astray and keep us in bondage! He wants us to be free in Him!
“How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked, don’t stand on the ways of sinners or sit where scoffers sit!”
Psalm 1:1 CJB
We will always be better off when we reject evil and cling to God, who will always lead us in His righteous ways!
Have a blessed day clinging to Adonai walking in His ways!
Shabbat Shalom!
