Now that I have finished this book...what should I say?
Don't stray away from the truth just because those around you do. Remember God's teachings when you have thoughts about how good others seem to have it in comparison to you. You can easily get caught in allowing yourself to sin just because others say that it is ok, and then worse, believe that it is true.
Keep God's word with you at all times to guard against a fall back into evil ways. When it seems easy to skip a Quiet time, or break a promise, or not have a servant's heart, remember how easy it is to get into a bad habit and how hard it is to break it.
When you do backslide, be humble enough to admit the mistake, repent, and move on, instead of trying to fix it by your own means. It will not end well, in the same way that the book of Judges did not end well.
whew! I can't believe that I am finally done reading Judges. Took me two and a half months to get through it, but I think that there were some good lessons in there. I don't know what I will read next. Our church is doing a study on personalities, I may just read a spiritual book until we finish with that, I know that there are a lot of books in my house that have not been read...
