Devotional: Judges 2:1-5

Today’s passage: Judges 2:1-5

Helpful thoughts:

  • God told Moses this was going to happen (Deuteronomy 31:16) and warned Israel (Numbers 33:50-56, Joshua 23:13).  God remained faithful, Israel broke her covenant.
  • The town of Bochim was named after the weeping of the people of Israel.
  • The weeping and offering of a sacrifice seem to look like a change of direction.  But, time (What we see as we continue to read) will tell.

Questions to consider:

  1. If Israel was truly repentant, what would have been the reason/motivation for their weeping and sacrifice?
  2. If Israel was not truly repentant, what could have been the reason/motivation for their weeping and sacrifice?
  3. Emotions are good.  They help to reveal what is in our hearts.  But, why can’t we measure the maturity and sincerity of a person based on emotionalism?  Where do we truly see the fruit of the Spirit in a believer?
