Every single one of us struggles with sin. There are areas of our lives where we know what God requires...but we decide to go our own way anyway. And of course, instead of making us happy - things begin to get worse and eventually the choices or things that we swore would make us happy leave us miserable.

And honestly - it's what we deserve...but a loving, gracious God never stops working to bring us back to him. It's a pattern we see repeated throughout the book of Judges...and in our own lives.
