Read Judges chapter 20

VERSE:

Judges 20:13–Now turn those wicked men of Gibeah over to us so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel. But then Benjamites would not listen to their fellow Israelites.

TRUTH:

The men of Israel were giving the tribe of Benjamin an opportunity to clean house. Yet, the refused to give up their evil. they wanted to hang on to the evil that they were doing. God asks us to do the same thing. Are we willing to give Him the sin in our life so that he may clean us and purge the evil from us? God desires that we repent from our evil ways and from the sin in our life, but we have to be willing to give it up and surrender it to Him. Are we?

RESPONSE:

Father, I give you my whole life. I know that You desire to make me clean and I pray that You will help me to do all that You desire. Keep me focused on You, not on hanging on to my sin. I love You and will surrender my life to You.
