Life Messes

We sometimes create terrible messes in our life. Then when we try to fix the problem, it often produces greater difficulties. We feel awful toward our circumstances, and the revulsion we experience, can be as strong as the disgust that readers of Judges chapter 21 feel, when reading of the events that the Israelites created for themselves. The circumstances of our own making and the man-made messes in this final chapter of the book, are fixed by the same means.
