This is a horrible account…lying, rape, hatred, harboring bitterness, plotting evil, with no accountability. From beginning to end, it is a sad tale.
The people of the Bible are all too human!
One thing I noticed…..there is not one mention of God in this chapter.
The thought occurred to me… this is what happens when God is left out of life’s equations. When we neglect to stay connected to the Lord, to seek the Lord, and to measure our lives against the way the Lord would have us live… this is the kind of stuff that happens.
Lord, God, keep me close to You. Please do not let me stray like those in this chapter strayed. This I pray through Jesus, my Lord. Amen.
