Judges 21 - Day 313 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Judges 21:15-25 Observation: The Israelites felt "sorry" for their cousins (who belonged to the tribe of Benjamin) because they were decimated for their rebellious hearts. Application: As human beings we can rationalize just about anything. When the Israelites were enraged with the Benjaminites, they pledged to annihilate the whole tribe. Then after they did what they said that they were going to do, they felt remorse and came up with a plan to "restore" the tribe of Benjamin. Rather than view this as hypocritical, I see this as a reflection of human nature, and my life. And that's why everyone needs Jesus. Prayer: Lord, help me to be more gracious in my dealings with those I disagree with... Comments are closed.
