Sunday School lotion ,ud8? , Devotional Reading: Joshua 24:19 ofte" have a hard time deati.ng what we really want from pod. On the one hand, like the th^erteS 01 i?'d' We pray feryently that God will 'raise up among us leaders as of old." We ask the Lord to send us godly men who will lead us as Moses and Joshua led the people of Israel. Yet. nothing so :'^s,us a* a leader who does not say and do what we want him or her to say and do. YetThey Did Not Liiten ? ?ne ?* tbe themes evident in the Book of Judges: the people want a leader sent from God, but frequently they refuse to follow that wH?." f'? ^he" * 'S given" As the writer of Judges tells as. "Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved ^"\out.of7he P?wer of those who plundered them. And yet they did not listen to their judges" (2:16, I '-italics mine). We need to remember who these judges were. Essentially thev were not judges in the judicial sense, but military heroes who in recognition of their deeds in time of national crisis, were entrusted with governmental powers during their own lifetime. Because they ap peared to be gifted by God to save he people of Israel from enemies. >s special endowment was honored. And it seemed to work reasonably well. When the people followed their leadership, things went pretty well with the Hebrew? tin!i< HL""316'** there were many t i" ,.people didn,t fo?ow in l!,a(!ersh,P- Sometimes thev followed the judges until they died and then "did what was evil in the thg ^ L?rd " but other times they did so even while the judge was So long as their judges saved them in times of crisis and so long as their government did not inter fere with the desires of the people verging was all right. Su'wEen Israelites decided that thev the?r worshiP the Baals of their neighbors and were opposed by their judges, that is whe!T the People decided they did not want their judges and their judgements. Their Stubborn Ways Is that not true of us as well'' We pray God to send us leaders to save us in times ot national peril but when things have returnePd to wSat we call normal, we want to do things our way. The writer of Judges says, "whenever the judge died they turned back and be haved worse than their fathers go'ng at,er other gods, sen", h!"1 h h b?M,ng down to 'hem! they did not drop anv of their practices or their stubborn way?' b*?P,e Want God to save them. Jlii T tg?vern 'hem. They want their leaders to speak for God but do what they want them to do The reason, they do not want to "drop stuhh practices or their stubborn ways. There is nothing wrong in asking God to raise up leaders for us so long as we remember that we may get what we ask for. > IRS Looking For Two Raeford Men For Refunds Terri Frances Ferrell and Eugene P.
