"Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen!"(10:14)... And he could bear Israel's misery no longer.(10:16)
This scene seems the same as the relations between me and my children: loving and disobeying, confessing and forgiving again and again. As a mom or dad, we can't bear pain or misery of my children, even though it has happened, due to their fault or wrong choices, or caused by their betraying us. Children have a tendency of taking parents' care or love for granted, and they can not even see that, like a blind spot. Instead, they are going to seek other carer or comforter who they believe could give peace and wealth, or pleasure, etc.
I appreciate that I can call Him my Father, whom I trust and I count on, so I do not want to step away from Him as I am in peace and joy in Him and I know that He loves me. Moreover, there is nothing to replace Him on earth. And I'd like to be a good girl as I know the painful feeling and emotion as a mom when my children go wrong and experience the pain that comes later after they act in disobedience to parents' advices or rules. Always as His good girl, I thank HIm for everything I enjoy today.
Joshua 1: 8
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written on it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
