Days of the Judges, Day 1

The days of the judges. As we start this new study through the book of Judges we are taking a look at a much different period of time and a much different people. Israel was trying to lay claim to all that God had promised them. Read Judges 1.

Now remember, God had given them the victory and promised them the land. All they had to do was go in and take it. There was fighting that had to happen, and they had to work for it. However, as we read over and over again in this chapter, we see the people didn’t fully complete what God had for them. The people only worked so hard, then they stopped. They did just enough, but didn’t finalize anything.

As we take a look at our life and all that we do, do we recognize when we are not giving our all for Christ, when we are only doing “good enough?” God has promised us the victory in our lives, but we have to be faithful to follow through on the work. Will we follow through on the work that God gives us?
