I don’t have a lot to say about today’s reading. The obvious observation is that the Israelites continue to fall away from God and run to Him when things go wrong. Some times they have major breakdowns where a judge blatantly turns from God. But sometimes it is something minor and a small choice that leads them down a wrong path. The lesson here is to not assume it is just the big things that make us turn from God. Most of the time it is a minor decision that leads us down a wrong path. Consistency is the key to leading and maintaining a righteous life.
