Judges 1:14-25

You have to read the penultimate book in the Bible to learn what God had revealed at the time of the flood. Enoch’s prophecy sees the Lord returning with His saints to judge the ungodly. All sinners will have to account for all they have done, for all the harsh words they have said, not forgetting their murmurings. These people are murmurers and complainers (1 Corinthians 10:10). This just goes to show that ungodliness and satisfying our lusts does not make us happy! Let us make sure that we are not ungrateful or dissatisfied with what the Lord has given us. "But, beloved . . .!" Even in the most evil situations there is always a pathway for the faithful to follow: building himself up, praying, waiting on the Lord, showing concern for his brethren. The Holy Spirit, God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ are named together to assure us that, on the divine side, we have everything we need (vv. 20, 21). If we fall (v. 24), we have only ourselves to blame. Although we are "preserved in Jesus Christ" (v. 1; John 6:39) we must keep ourselves in the enjoyment of God’s love (v. 21). May we even now experience that "exceeding joy" and render worship and praise to God our Saviour.
