Judges 3:1, "Now these are the nations which the Lord left, that He might test Israel by them..." 6, "...and they served their gods."
The Lord left a remnant of nations in the land of Canaan to serve as a test to the people and the people failed. Their hearts wondered gradually from the Lord and they began to intermarry with the nations and eventually their hearts wondered from God to worship other gods. A little leaven leaven's the entire lump. A little sin will take over and pull your heart away. There must be a total abandonment from the sin. There must be a complete purging for one to stay clean. Let us examine our hearts today and confess anything that remains! Amen!
