First, “. . . the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of the Lord . . . they forsook the Lord and
followed and worshiped various gods of the
people around them.”
Next, “In his anger . . . the Lord handed them
over to raiders who plundered them.”
Then, “The children of Israel cried unto the
Lord.”
Do you ever marvel that we can’t appreciate the
value of something until we lose it? Israel had
something “really special” in their relationship
with God. Why did they persistently jeopardize it
by imitating those around them?
Bible Class Coordinators
Cradle Roll
The period of the Judges in the Old Testament
lasted something over 300 years. It is
characterized by a repetitive cycle.
A few years passed and the cycle started over
again . . . and again . . . and again.

Appreciating What We Have
Finally, “The Lord raised up a deliverer for the
children of Israel who delivered them.”

I would suggest to you that Woodland Oaks
enjoys an incredible amount of blessings from
God. Let’s value those blessings and not lose
them by imitating those around us.
—No particular agenda—just a principle for your
consideration.

Please pray for everyone starting back to school!
