Folks, here's the deal. I'm not joking. My father used to say, when it comes to Judges 2, you gotta listen up. See here, Jack, what happened was the Lord was angry with the Israelites for worshiping foreign gods. He sent an angel to remind them of their covenant, and c'mon, man, they were like, "What was that?" But the Lord was not gonna stand for it. So he said, "You gotta serve me and me alone." And then, like, literally, he gave them into the hands of foreign kings who did all kinds of bad stuff to them. But c'mon, man, no malarkey, the Lord was still with them and every time they cried out to him for help, he listened. Excuse me, but I tell you what, it's a lesson we can all learn from - if we turn away from God, bad things are gonna happen, but if we stay true, God will never leave us. Amen.
