Daily Bible Reading - May 5th, 2019 | American Bible Society: Judges 1:1-36: Today we begin reading excerpts from the book of Judges, a book that contains stories from the lawless period in Israel’s history between the invasion of Canaan and the establishment of the monarchy. These stories are about the exploits of national heroes called “judges,” most of whom were military leaders. Israel’s survival depended on loyalty to God; but even when the nation was disloyal to God and disaster came, God was always ready to save the people when they repented and turned to him again. Today’s reading recounts Israel’s attempts to drive out the Canaanites with mixed success.
