Again, the Israelites did evil in the LORD’s sight. They served the images of Baal and Ashtoreth, and the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, Ammon, and Philistia. They abandoned the LORD and no longer served him at all.
Judges 10:6

Again: once more; another time; anew; in addition:

How to handle the cycle of agains?

• Realize the sin and its presence in my life.
• Repent of the sin (A change of mind; a turn away from the sin)
• Recognize that turning away can’t be done alone (We need the help of Holy Spirit.)
• Recreate new habits that are removed from the sin.

About Again:

• And when again comes again, be quickened to the Spirit’s heart tap, and repent immediately.
• Agains shouldn’t come as frequently.

The limitlessness to God’s:

• forgiveness should not be our pass to a lifestyle of limitless sin.
• grace should compel us to a lifestyle of righteous living.

The citizens of Shechem set an ambush for Abimelech on the hilltops and robbed everyone who passed that way. But someone warned Abimelech about their plot.
Judges 9:25

I wonder who the someone was. I wonder if I have every been a someone that God used in a plot.

Do the work necessary to make agains infrequent in my life.
