Over the past weeks, we have ripped through Judges, Ruth, and 1 Samuel. Today, we reflect. Some interesting characters to say the least...FULL of flaws. Amazing how honest scripture is, showing the good and bad. Samson was an imposing figure with great physical strength, but little moral strength. Imagine the victories never achieved because of his compromising stance towards right and wrong. Do we struggle with that as well?
We met Ruth, faithful and devoted. Willing to give up all she knew for those she loved.
Samuel, such a strong man of God. Upset that the nation rejected God and wanted a king. Weak on parenting.
Many characters, each with good and bad qualities. When looking in the mirror, which qualities do we most see?
