Judges 21:24-25

Who doesn’t want to be wise—to think carefully, avoid trouble, and make decisions that lead to happiness? However, wisdom feels lofty and possibly even unattainable for most of us. The Bible shows us that wisdom can be found by following God’s way. In this nine-day series on Proverbs, we will look at what wisdom is and how to follow God’s path of wisdom.

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.
