Judges 1:28, 2:1-3
"When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.""The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, ‘I will never break My covenant with you, and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.’ Yet you have disobeyed Me. Why have you done this? Now therefore I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.”"
"COMPRIMISING WITH THE ENEMY IS THE WORST FORM OF BETRAYAL, NOT ONLY TO GOD, BUT TO SELF!"
If you read Judges chapter 1, you will soon realize that the Israelites decided to make a deal with the enemy because they SEEMED too strong.
Basically, it says that the enemy was determined not to move!
But God had commanded to destroy them & tear down their altars!
"FEAR WILL CAUSE YOU TO COMPROMISE!"
"DOUBT WILL CAUSE YOU TO COMPROMISE!"
But worst of all:
"COMPROMISE WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE THE PEACE THAT ONLY COMES THROUGH GODLY OBEDIENCE!"
When you feel stirred in your spirit to carry out a plan, don't hold back because of opposition!
INSTEAD, MOVE FORWARD IN FULL CONFIDENCE & LET GOD CONCERN HIMSELF WITH THE DETAILS!
