"Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian for seven years, 2 and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains." Judges 6:1,2
Let us focus on two things in the above verse:
- They did evil
- They build the caves
Paul was asking in the book of Romans who or what can separate us from God?
The only thing that is able to do it is sin.
Sin means to disobey God, missing the target.
According to the bible neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The only thing is sin.
That is why when Jesus was crucified He said Father why have you forsaken me, God cannot stand sin, but He loves the sinner and He wants to save us.
Ask yourself, have you been doing evil in the eyes of God?
If so it takes us to the second point, they build caves to hide from the enemies, normally when i person does evil they feel so ashamed that they want to hide.
They don't want to be exposed. We don't want others to know what we have done.
The truth is, God and the devil already knows what you have done, why let it hold you back.
Don't hide it anymore,
Recognise and confess your sins to Him now.
And a new life with a clean conscience will start for you.
Hope it helps
God Bless you.
Share it with someone, you can save a soul.
