RESCUE US FROM US
Today's reading: Judges 7-11

"But the Israelites pleaded with the Lord and said, We have sinned. Punish us as you see fit, only rescue us today from our enemies." Judges 10:15 NLT

Been there?

Sunk so low, walked so far away, dug a pit so deep, become so entangled with sin? Sold yourself to the lowest bidder? Committed spiritual adultery? Prostituted yourself? Bowed before other gods? Turned your back on God? Done things you said you'd never ever do? Returned to your own vomit?

And yet when we consider the punishment we deserve from God, oh, the punishment we deserve--we'll take it, just to be brought near to Him?

Punish me, Lord, but rescue me, we cry out!
