In today’s text, God raises up judges like Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar to rescue His people, but their repeated compromise sets the stage for ongoing instability.
Before you begin
Ask the Lord to give you a fresh sense of wonder as you read His Word. Pray for understanding and for an open, humble, obedient heart to receive what He wants to say to you.

Review
Write a sentence or two about what you've just read. This could be a summary of the passage or an observation or highlight that stood out to you.
Reflect
Judges chapter 3 verse 7, says that Israel “forgot the LORD their God” and did evil in the Lord’s sight. How can functionally “forgetting” the Lord affect your love for God and for others?
"Have we lost our capacity to be shocked and grieved by sin? Are we so accustomed to raunchiness, filth, and viciousness on the public airwaves that we’ve become immune to its deadening effects in our own hearts? Have we become desensitized to unholy language and images that pass through our eye gate and ear gate into our mind and heart?" —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
