Deborah and Barak

The book of Judges presents a complete picture of the depravity of man and his sinful condition. God blesses man; man gets comfortable and forgets God, turning to sin; God punishes man; man repents; and God blesses man, thus beginning the cycle again. It seems to show that when man gets comfortable, he tends to forget who gave him that comfort and turns to his own ideas and pleasure instead of following God’s commands. As followers of Christ, we need to see that our trials are not the times in life where we are closest to falling away from Him, but when we are content is. Many times our trials are God’s way of redirecting our lives back to Him and are the times that we are the closest to God. The book of Judges is a warning and encouragement to not forget God in our times of peace and contentment, but to stay true to Him in the good times and the bad times.
