He asked why afterward and God responded thoroughly, with an answer as to why His people would lose everything and then promises of hope. Today, we jump into the reasons Israel was here and how we can be on guard of those traps as well! Do we receive His teachings fully? Do we listen to His answers to our hardest questions with eyes on Him or while turning to other things? Do we believe that we are able or that it is only in Him and His character that we can stand?
