Today's Bible verse is Judges 21:6 from the King James Version.

Episode 72: Disgusted and terrified at what had happened in Benjamin, the rest of Israel had decided to assemble and seek the will of God for what they should do. As one nation, the 11 other tribes rose against the tribe of Benjamin. Peaceful negotiations were fruitless, and war ensued. Battle after battle, Israel lost to the tribe of Benjamin until God gave them victory. But no celebration followed this victory; instead, there was mourning as Israel had brought one of its brothers to the brink of extinction. Our vengeance, if even for a right cause, often brings more harm than good.

Episode 70: Israel was descending into madness; right and wrong went out the door, and everyone did what they wanted. From the hill country of Ephraim, an Israelite named Micah stole silver from his mother. But when he returned it, his mother made him an idol out of it, and it became one of his household gods. One day, a Levite, who was not content serving in the tabernacle, decided to look for work elsewhere, and Micah, seeing him wandering, appointed him to be the priest of his house, thinking that God would bless him for this. But God will not bless foolishness just because we place his name on it. Micah ended up losing the Levite and his idols. And their sin became the sin of an entire tribe.

After being lied to by Samson on three occasions, he finally caved in and gave her the truth. Teaching us that we should be careful not to flirt with sin or abuse the favor God has given us, otherwise, like Samson, we may make a choice we deeply regret.

Today's Bible verse is Judges 15:15 from the King James Version.

Episode 68: Samson, missing the physical pleasures of his wife, goes back to her house to claim her, but her father, thinking that he had abandoned her, gave her to his best man instead. So Samson went out, caught 300 foxes, and used their tails and wild energy to set fire to the crops of the Philistines as revenge. But revenge, as it so often does even today, only escalated the situation, and the Philistines retaliated back by killing his former wife and her family. Thus began the long war between Samson and his enemies.

Today's Bible verse is Judges 14:14 from the King James Version.

Episode 67: Samson, now a grown man, was walking around in the city of Timnah one day. He caught sight of a beautiful woman and immediately went back to his home to ask his parents to fetch her for him as a wife. On the way there a lion attacked Samson, but the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he defeated the lion with his bare hands. In his pride, this became the perfect excuse to set up a riddle to place a bet and win himself 30 new garments at his wedding party. But we should be careful with what we say or do in moments of pride because just like Samson we might end up losing more than we imagine instead.

Midianites soon began pillaging and plaguing the Israelites, so much so that they needed to hide their food under tents and in wine presses. In one of these wine presses stood the man who God would use to save Israel, Gideon, a man who teaches us that God can use the weakest and most self-doubting person to accomplish His will and save His people.
