"The word of the Lord was rare in those days...."
Had God really withdrawn from Israel? Historians can stack up the reasons why God might well have decided to ignore those people at that time. They certainly were not behaving in a way that indicated that they had been listening anyway.
Or, had God continued to be reaching out, and they just were too busy listening to their own voices and desires to pay attention?
When we feel lonely, abandoned, stuck in a situation without solution, can we hear God's voice? Or, when we feel complete, secure, satisfied, do we bother to listen?
