trapped in a lifestyle

Deuteronomy 28:36-37 (JDV)

Deuteronomy 28:36 “Yahveh will bring you and your king that you have appointed to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone.
Deuteronomy 28:37 You will become an object of desolation, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where Yahveh will drive you.

trapped in a lifestyle

When the Israelites went into exile, they found themselves trapped in the idolatrous lifestyle that caused their exile. Their rebellion led to more rebellion — to the point where it was hard to even hope for rescue. Then Christ came. He came to a beaten, trodden down, and hopelessly desolate people.

Do you feel trapped in a lifestyle that embarrasses you? Have you tried to change yourself so many times that you feel reform is hopeless? It is, but there is hope for rescue. His name is Jesus, because he saves his people from their sins.

Lord, we cannot rescue ourselves, come and be our Savior.
