The book of Judges covers the period lasting approximately 430 years between the death of Joshua and the period of the Kings, notably including David. During this period, the people Israel had no clear leader, so lost their spiritual way, forgetting God and what He had done for them. From time to time God showed his compassion on his people by raising up a Judges to rescue them, but each time the respite was temporary and when the Judge died the people would turn even further away from the Lord. The episodes described by Judges leads us to ask three things: 1. Do we know God and what He has done for us? 2. Do we recognise God's outrageous compassion on His people? 3. Are we prepared to live the lives that God calls us to?
