In this episode, Tola continues the study in Judges 6 by examining the consequences of Israel’s disobedience. After recognizing that their disobedience had opened the door to oppression, the children of Israel experienced not just trouble from the Midianites but also multiplied attacks from the Amalekites and the people of the East. These enemies devastated everything—destroying crops, livestock, and leaving no sustenance for Israel.
Tola draws a clear connection between the open door of disobedience and the multiplied consequences that can follow, both for individuals and for nations. She challenges listeners to start with self-examination, acknowledging where they may have ignored God’s warnings, and to cry out for His mercy and help.
This episode is a call to recognize the true cost of disobedience and to turn back to God before the losses become greater.
Key Scriptures:
Judges 6:1-6 — Israel’s disobedience leads to seven years of oppression and devastation at the hands of multiple enemies.
Key Points:
Disobedience Opens the Door: One wrong choice can give access to more than you bargained for.
Consequences Multiply: What begins as one source of trouble can quickly expand into many if the door remains open.
Self-Examination is Critical: Before pointing fingers at others or at national issues, start by asking God to reveal personal areas of disobedience.
God’s Mercy is Available: No matter how far the consequences have gone, turning back to God can bring restoration.
Reflection Questions:
Are there areas in your life where you’ve ignored God’s red flags?
Can you identify consequences you’re facing now that may be tied to past disobedience?
