Do You Quickly Forget God’s Goodness?
“So it was, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-Berith their god.”
Judges 8:33

Ponder This
God led the people to an amazing victory through Gideon. After something that amazing, you would think the people would be so grateful and praise God so much that faithfulness would continue through the generations. But instead, there was the apostasy of an unthankful people.
They turned to immorality, and the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side. Is that not pitiful? God had given them a wonderful victory, but they forgot it so quickly. Many of us hear that and think, “That would never be me” or “How could someone be so short-sighted and foolish?” But we share the same nature with these people, and we easily forget God’s goodness. If we do not stay determined to remember, we will quickly forget.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
