E-Who? The Obvious Observations

What obvious observations can be seen in Judges 3:12-30? 1. God will do anything He wants with anyone He chooses. If He can use a donkey to speak to a man, make an axehead float 2. God promises and provides deliverance for His people. The pattern in Judges is clear to see: over and over the people rebel, God sends oppressors, the people devote themselves to God anew, God sends a deliverer. 3. God's Word is living and life-changing. It carries a strong message. Piercing, pointed, powerful. Hebrews 4:12 says "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." 4. God expects and enables humble-bold leadership. Christian men, sit up and take notice. You are called to lead, to initiate. your God-given calling is to shepherd your family in the ways of the Lord. We must take Ehud-like action - calculated, courageous and designed to benefit the community of faith.
