*FOCUS : GOD'S GUIDANCE IN MAY : DAY 127*
________________________
_But the Israelites said to the Lord, ‘We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now._~ Judges 10:15
________________________
Judges 10 is a low point. Israel’s in another cycle: sin → oppression → cry out. This time God pushes back – v13-14: _“Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you.”_ It feels like God’s done. But Israel repents. And v15 is their surrender.
Three guidance truths here: -
1. *God’s guidance starts with honesty.* No excuses, no blame-shifting. _“We have sinned.”_ You can’t be led until you admit you’re lost.
2. *Real surrender says “do whatever you think best.”* They stopped negotiating with God. That’s trust. Guidance isn’t God rubber-stamping _your_ plan. It’s giving Him a blank check with your life.
3. *God’s mercy shows up after full repentance* – v16: _“He could bear Israel’s misery no longer.”_ His guidance isn’t withheld to punish you. It flows when your heart turns fully back to Him.
