Judges 18:6

Peace. Your heart longs for it, but the world tends to suck it right out of you. Does peace elude you in your to-do lists, work deadlines, busy-ness? Janelle and Lori each share personal stories of how God taught them about embracing God-given peace, even when life doesn’t feel very peaceful. Take a few minutes of each day to bask in the Peace only Jesus can give.

For all the victory and triumph in the book of Joshua, Judges paints a far more somber picture. The repetition, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25) describes this dark period of Israel's history succinctly. Yet even in the midst of their rebellion, God was faithful to fulfill his covenantal promises to his people.
