judges 1-3
and a new genereation of israelites grew up
and the generation that fought with joshua against the canaanites passed away.
and that fighting generation sinned; they didnt completely clear the country because it was too difficult.
so each tribe had like one or two cities or peoples living among them, who they subjected to slave labour.
but their kids came up and married these "slaves" and worshipped their gods nd that made God angry.
so everytime israel was faced with a war challenge, they got pwned. God like increased their handicap so they couldnt win.
but because God still cared for his people, when they cried out to him in desperation
he raised up a judge, after which the book was named.
but oh the folly!!! time and time again, they strayed, and God raised judge after judge.
my heart has this to say that has been impressed on it:
#1. God will always hear our cry and answer it
#2. God needs holy, righteous people to stand out, stand up, and do his work; save his people..
#3. can that be me?
