The passage today tells the story of two women who step up in a big way to honor the Lord and provide for His people. Listen along to hear about Deborah and Jael and the role they play in the story of Israel.

Today our passage introduces us to three judges; Othniel, Ehud & Shamgar. God used each of these individuals in different ways to bring mercy to the Israelites.

Living life with Jesus needs to be intentional. If you aren't working to keep your relationship with Jesus you will start to drift and when you drift you end up further away from the Lord and need to cry out for his mercy.

Are you grateful for God's great kindness and mercy?

The children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They lived among God's enemies and were not willing to obey God. Thankfully God is still compassionate even though they chose to disobey.

You're responsible for your path, how are you doing with your personal walk?

Are you actively or passively engage?

We begin our series in the book of Judges today.

This week we are looking back at how God delivered the Israelites and the leaders he appointed to lead them out of Egypt, Moses and Joshua.

Next week we will start in the book of Judges.

Listen to wisdom and receive its benefits. When we fear God it is the beginning of wisdom.

Fathers seek to live under the fear of God and teach it to your children.

The message from Ecclesiastes today reminds us that wisdom provides benefits for us in our daily living.

We are to live life in the world with God's purpose. Whatever is given to us to experience or endure we should be grateful and embrace what it is the Lord has given us. To help us be able to do this its important to stay in the Word, pray and keep each other accountable.
