WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday April 27 - May 3
Coexist? – Man as Defender

“Now the angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” As soon as the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.” - Judges 2:1-4 ESV

More than likely you’ve seen the “COEXIST” bumper sticker with each letter formed by a different religious symbol, all blended into a single mantra. At first glance, it looks harmless with its message of peace, tolerance, and unity. Yet beneath the surface, it sends a darker message: Give up on your beliefs, go along with the culture, and live for everything—even what God clearly calls sin. For followers of Christ, truth doesn’t “coexist” with lies. Light doesn’t associate with darkness.

However, if we’re honest, many of us can live out a quiet version of that same deceptive message. We try to coexist with sin. We don’t fully reject it—we attempt to manage it. We tolerate certain habits, justify certain compromises, and convince ourselves we’re still in control. We assume the consequences won’t catch up to us. That we can keep it contained. But sin was never meant to be managed. God calls us to ruthlessly remove it.

Israel did the same thing. They tried to coexist. Yet God had given them clear, unmistakable orders: Drive out the enemy completely. Tear down their idols and altars. Remove every particle of pagan worship. God knew that anything left behind could come back to bite them. Yet Israel stopped short. They allowed pagan remnants to remain—pieces of perversion, traces of temptation, shreds of sin. Consequently, the Angel of the Lord confronted them: “You have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done?”
