At church, I'm doing a Wednesday night 'series' on the book of Judges. Some well-known folks there, like Gideon, Samson, etc., but also some lesser-known folks.
The frustrating thing is to see that Israel slid back to idolatry after every judge. Maybe they'd be free from opression for a generation or so (40 years) but then they'd go after the idols again, and God would punish them again. They had judges, but no judgment.
It's amazing that God continued to have mercy on them when they cried out to Him...but then, maybe that's not so amazing. I have a little caligraphy card framed in my office..."O God of second chances, here I am again."
