It's ironic that I'm watching the longest yard on TNT and I feel like this week has been the longest yard. I'm praying next week I catch my second wind. Yoga was today and I did better than I have in 3 weeks.
I read judges 3-15 and it was all about following God. If Israel followed God they were blessed. It was a time of leadership unrest with hold over leadership from the system of Judges that Moses had set up. The Judge Jephthath learned that you have to be careful what you promise God. Because he promised God he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house when he came home after a war victory he lost his only daughter.
I am learning that God was really setting the tone for His Kingdom and rule in the Old Testament. I think we take advantage of the free Grace we have through Jesus' redeeming love when He went to the cross. Many of us would be dead as well as our whole families because of our sin if we lived in the Old Testament. A humbling fact.
I pray that I might be a man who obeys the Lord.
