The beginning of April means that we're 1/4 of the way through the Bible. Here are some of the thoughts I've had this past week:
Quote:
“Eventually that entire generation died and was buried. Then another generation grew up that didn't know anything of God or the work he had done for Israel.” (Judges 2:10)
Thought:
It is so important to tell the the stories of what God has done to our children. If we don't, how will they know?
Quote:
“God said to Gideon, "You have too large an army with you. I can't turn Midian over to them like this—they'll take all the credit, saying, 'I did it all myself,' and forget about me. Make a public announcement: 'Anyone afraid, anyone who has any qualms at all, may leave Mount Gilead now and go home.'" Twenty-two companies headed for home. Ten companies were left.” (Judges 7:2-3)
Thought:
I wonder, in a land as prosperous as ours, with as many resources as we have available to us, whether we really depend on God for much of anything. God doesn't need overwhelming numbers to accomplish His work. He only needs a few who will be brave enough to trust and obey His orders.
Quote:
“Gideon had seventy sons. He fathered them all—he had a lot of wives!” (Judges 8:30)
Thought:
I think that has to be the understatement of the book of Judges!
Quote:
“(His father and mother had no idea that God was behind this, that he was arranging an opportunity against the Philistines. At the time the Philistines lorded it over Israel.)” (Judges 14:4)
Thought:
Samson was asking for something his parents knew God had forbid...to marry outside of Israel. Yet this was God's doing. Hmmm...
