Weekly Scripture Reading: Judges 1-12
I'll be honest, it's been a while since I have read Judges; and I didn't really remember what it was we would be reading today. I honestly don't know what I expected to read, but I was encouraged by all the stories that we covered today. :-)
I LOVED seeing God fight for His people! Especially when, like us, they were so unworthy . I almost laughed when the Angel of the LORD showed up and called Gideon a "mighty man of valor". Now, don't get me wrong, Gideon does end up living up to that statement, but he didn't really start there. Hearing each Judges story was so encouraging to me because God used each one even though all of them were far from perfect. It gives me hope and encourages me, that God could use someone like me too.
It reminded me of a blog post I recently wrote about this same thing, you may find it encouraging:
I pray that as you listen to the scripture being read today that the Holy Spirit speaks to you and you are encouraged and brought closer to LORD our God. <3
