Some things in life are complicated, others are simple. If we want God’s blessings in our life we simply need to listen to Him and do what He says. If we want to complicate the heck out of things, and bring many unnecessary hardships and heartaches on ourselves, then we simply need to do the opposite of what God says. Unfortunately, in chapter 8 of the Story, the Israelites chose the opposite of doing what God says and they found themselves in a vicious cycle of sin, repentance and deliverance.
