There was much grumbling and complaining in the wilderness among the people of Israel before they even entered into the Promised Land. God was not happy with His nation, so to speak, for casting doubt and complaint. In Judges 6, about 100 years after they entered the Promised Land, they were complaining––again. Why had the LORD allowed them to be defeated by the Midianites? Why were the people of Israel suffering? Simple questions to answer! And yet those questions were answered hundreds of years before when the nation was in the wilderness. God was ignored by Israel! They did not worship Him as LORD. He is a HOLY God who cannot tolerate any deviation from His commandments. The second of which says, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (EXODUS 20:3). Israel had strayed from obeying and following the commands of God. This was the reason they were in the mess they were in. So, how does God solve their problem?
