Day 9: The Cycle of the Judges

Daily Thread: The book of Judges shows Israel caught in a repeated cycle: sin, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. Without a king, "everyone did what was right in his own eyes," revealing the need for godly leadership. Judges like Deborah, Gideon, and Samson delivered Israel temporarily, but their flaws underscored the need for a greater Deliverer. This period prepared Israel for the kingship and ultimately for Christ, the true King.
