"... They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways. Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, "...I will no longer drive out any of the nations Joshua left when he died. I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their forefathers did."
Judges 2:19,20-22
When we continually ignore the commands of the Lord, he has no choice but to let go and let us walk in our own stubborn ways. We must remember that the Lord is polite and will not force us to do anything we do not want to do, including following him or following ourselves - our selfish ways. So, let's not blame God when the world comes against us and darkness is winning. For we have made the choices for such consequences to be happening. Instead let's repent, turn back to God and seek him and all his compassion. He loves us so much and is filled with so much mercy, he will turn his face back on us; he will shine his glory down; he will defeat the enemies against us; our lives will be bright again. Yes, God is so good! And, although we make terrible choices against him, he forgives us when we repent. He loves us, friends, he truly loves us. Therefore, whatever the messes may be, turn to the Lord and give him back all the control.
