Devotional: Judges 1:27-36

Today’s passage: Judges 1:27-36

Helpful thoughts:

  • Israel was commanded to destroy everything and everyone in the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 20:16-18).
    • This destruction was for the judgment of those inhabitants (Genesis 15:16, 1 Samuel 15:2-3).
    • This destruction was for the future holiness of Israel.
  • Dan seems to have fared the worst even though they had the second largest number of troops (Numbers 2).
  • The chapter pointedly ends with a description of the land of the Amorites instead of a description of the land of Israel.

Questions to consider:

  1. What seems to be the theme of this passage? What didn’t Israel do?
  2. Are God’s commands contingent on our ability?  Are there things that God has commanded you to do, that you can not obey?
  3. What keeps us from doing the things we know God has told us to do?  What could you do today in obedience to Him?
