Christian encouragement and devotionals for your walk with Christ
It’s easy to tout God will never give me more then I can handle, when life is great. But what about when the fire starts to burn? When your life is disintegrating in a pillar of smoke. When you stand as Job did with suddenly empty hands, and you feel all alone. Is God with…
Judges 6 is a well known Bible story, it’s in this chapter that we meet Gideon in the Bible in a rather unassuming way. The men and women throughout the pages of the book of Judges always show up with little fanfare, and we are immediately tossed into their story as they step into a…
Have you ever noticed that when God tells us to do something or calls us to a place it doesn’t always make sense? The bible is filled with these moments, from God telling Moses to strike a rock for water to holding his staff over his head so the Israelites can claim the victory, or even when Jesus tells Peter to throw his nets into the water in the heat of the day.

We find ourselves in Judges chapter 4 and the people of Israel have once again turned their backs on the Lord and are living under the oppression of the king of Canaan. They like their parents and grandparents once the judges of Israel passed away embraced the culture. For 20 years they have lived in…
