Judges

Hey so I am still studying, and I will try to keep up at least accountability posts daily. I am trying to read the Old Testament since I have never read it cover to cover and today was Judges 2-10. There's some awesome stuff in there about Gideon, some weird poems about driving a nail through a guy's temples when he least expects it, but it's useful stuff.

There's a big focus in the OT about idolatry. That's a sin that I struggle mightily with. It's just easy to prioritize or care more about other things than God and what God wants me to do and to have my desires completely in line with His desires.

Judges 6:17 "Shew me a sign that thou talkest with me" I sort of pray like this - not that I seek signs, but I try to seek a confirmation that God hears me and to feel His love as I pray.

v19 makes an offering of flesh (broken heart) and unleavened cakes (contrite spirit). I felt as I read this to make a sacrifice of something specific, which I did.
