The Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases
His mercies never come to an end they are new every morning

You'll find out from these chapters the many times the people strayed away from God. The part which stood out to me was:
Judges 10:16(NLT) "Then the Israelites put aside their foreign gods and served the Lord. And He was grieved by their misery".
Many times when we go our own way or make our own choices which leads to a bad or painful outcome, we feel like, God is punishing us for our choices.
But He is not, He grieves and doesn't find pleasure in our misery. That's why He seeks to guide us and correct us. It's like playing with fire, when you don't heed the warning to the danger, you get burnt by the fire.
God doesn't tell the fire to burn you, your careless handling of the fire resulted in a burn. That's what we call consequences.
However even with that, God has a solution.
He sent, His Son to die for us to reconcile us to Him and when we confessed our sins and believed in Him, He sends the Holy Spirit who speaks the thoughts, instructions, the mind and words of God to guide as daily so we don't find ourselves in constant trouble.
During times when we fall into trouble, because we are not perfect and are faced with the results of our actions, remember He takes what is bad and good, puts them altogether and works it in your favour. What a God, what a God!
Dear friend, if you are in a cycle of constant trouble, remember His love is sufficient for you and His strength is made perfect in your weakness, if you feel you're being attacked from all angles, remember He fights for you and gives you strength and courage for when you go through persecution for His Name.
Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death you will fear no evil for the Lord is with you, His rod and staff will comfort you.
Let's pray, Dear Father thank you for Your Love, I recieve Your Unfailing Love, I thank you for Your Son who died for me, I believe He is the Son of God and He died and rose again alive in our midst. I know I am not enough for this walk, but you are more than enough for me. I thank you for sending Your Sweet Holy Spirit to guide my thoughts and actions. Your Name be Glorified Father, in Jesus Name Amen.
