Judges chapter 3, verse 7,

and the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

They forgot the Lord their God and served the Bales and the Asherith.

This is the constant refrain that we read throughout the book of judges,

and it is so sad.

Over and over again, we read about God's people doing what was evil in God's sight

because they forgot the Lord their God and worshipped other gods instead.

And the consequences of this are disastrous as you read through judges.

It's just story after story after story of the effects of sin in devastating ways. And

the point is so clear in so many different stories, don't forget the Lord your God.

Don't turn aside to other gods. Remember, this is why we see all throughout God's word commands to

remember, remember, remember, remember who God is, remember what God has said. He is. His word is the way

to life and to turn from him and to run after other gods in this world, to do evil in the side of God, to forget what

is good and right and not run after God and what is good and right leads to suffering and

injustice and all kinds of multiplied evil and ultimately death.

This is where sin leans.

So let's pray in light of this today in each of our lives.

God, help us today to not forget you, to remember you at every moment,

to keep our eyes fixed on you, to worship you alone as God, to love you, God,

with all our heart and soul and mind and strength.

God, we pray for undivided hearts toward you.
