“Mingled and Served”

Blessings folk!

The children of Israel were instructed by the Lord to destroy the nations upon the land.

We have seen that they did not do what the Lord commanded.

Not only did they did not follow the command of the Lord, they did something else.

Read.
What else did they do?

Psa 106:34-36
They did not destroy the peoples,
As the LORD commanded them,
But they mingled with the nations
And learned their practices,
And served their idols,
Which became a snare to them.


They did not destroy the nations.
Rather, they mingled with them
They learned their practices.
They served their idols.
These idols ensnared them.

“Mingle” means that they intermarried with the nations.
The Lord had told them not to do such.

This is what happens when when we do not follow the command of the Lord.
This is what happens when we think we know more/better than the Lord.
This is what happens when our eyes are upon the things of this world rather than upon the Lord.

The Body of Christ is tempted in similar fashion.
So many are mingled with the nations.
So many are manifesting the practices of the world.
So many serve idols.
All, in the”name of the Lord”.

Such should be rejected.

Seek the Lord.
Abide in Him.
Obey Him.
Trust Him.
