Avoiding the Rollercoaster, Day 19

Finding the bottom. Read Judges chapter 19.

This chapter is one that reminds us just how far we can fall. Sin is a horrible thing and the things that happen in this chapter are a reminder of just how truly horrible things can be. Reading this section, we understand that the travelers intentionally were staying within cities that were Israelite cities. They were intentionally staying only in places that were supposed to be followers of God. Unfortunately, they had fallen so far from God that even in one of those cities, the horrible things still happened. When people are riding the rollercoaster, the lows can be so incredibly low. We see that there really is no way to pull yourselves back up, except repentance and God.

If we are on the downward path, we must come back to God and repent to him as soon as possible to avoid the depths of the lows that we can sink to. Sin is a terrible, terrible thing and if we are not careful, we will be overcome by it for that is Satan’s goal for us. Will we recognize our sin and repent and return to the Lord so that he can keep us on the path that he has for us?
