Now we enter a new book and time for God's people. In Judges ch 1-5 we see the results of no legacy. A cycle begins. Israel falls into immorality and idolatry, God allows a powerful neighbor to oppress and enslave them, people cry out in repentance, God raises up a Judge to save them.
As we see in Ch 4v21, this reading is not for the faint of heart. This was a difficult, brutal time in the nation's history. Amazingly though, both the good and bad are recorded. The honesty of God's word is awesome!
Our legacy, is it truthful? Do we show the good and bad for possible lessons to learned? We all have some scars that others could avoid.
