This week we are finishing the book of Judges.
The second half of the book starts with the story of Samson. This is one of the most engaging stories in the history books. Samson is marked from birth as someone set apart for the service of God. He is something of a smart alec, his wife betrays him to his friends, he defeats Philistines with the jaw-bone of a donkey. He is ensnared by Deliah and hits rock bottom, but he is able with his last ounce of strength to defeat his enemies. Along with other lessons, this story is one of many that show that God does not need someone to be perfect in order to use them.
The book ends with the stories of some internal strife within the tribes of Israel.
