I will never break my covenant with you
Judges 2:2,3. .. I will never break my covenant with you. .. But you have not obeyed my voice. …. So now I say I will not drive them out before you…..and their gods shall be a snare to you
God had commanded Israel to make no covenant with pagan nations and to tear down their altars. As a consequence of Israel’s disobedience, these nations would be a snare to them just as God has promised.
Israelites followed their own reasoning just like many Christians who modify God’s commands to suit them and their culture. As a consequence of Israel’s disobedience, these nations were a snare to them. So too Christians are not able to over come sin and problems in their life as they don’t obey Gods command fully.
When the sons of Israel heard this,they wept and offered sacrifices but didnot change Many christians too weep, fast and pray when they hear or read Gods message. But they donot change. They go back to their own ways very soon.
But few live by the standards of God’s word. So be a man/woman of God who knows God
