Judges 11:29

Do you feel as if God has abandoned you? In life’s hardest moments, it can seem impossible to feel His presence. Rest assured; He hasn’t left your side. In this devotional, you’ll experience the nearness of God through one man’s inspiring journey. You’ll be encouraged and learn how you can trust in the Lord, regardless of your circumstances.

The books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth detail powerful stories of God’s sovereignty as he led his people from wilderness wanderers to conquering heroes, revealing himself as the heavenly Joshua, holy Judge, and merciful Kinsman-Redeemer. These seven devotions will inspire you with fresh vision, bold faith, and renewed passion to possess God’s plan for you.

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.
