Judges 2
Devotional:
The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight and served the images of Baal. They abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They went after other gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them. And they angered the Lord. (Judges 2:11-12)
Things started out so well in the first few verses of Judges 1, as the people sought the Lord and captured more territory. However, things quickly deteriorated and the people failed to conquer all of the Promised Land because they abandoned the Lord and began to serve false gods. How did this happen? “After them another generation rose up who did not know the Lord or the works he had done for Israel” (Judges 2:10). This chapter makes it clear that we need to be deliberate in sharing our faith with our own generation and with the generations that follow us. Are you sharing the good news of God’s love and forgiveness in Jesus Christ with the children and youth you know? Are you telling them what the Lord has done for you?

Pray it:
Father, help me to remember what you have done for me in Christ and to share that message with the generations that follow me. Make the generation that is rising up now be a generation that knows and follows you. Amen.
