The Conquerors: Heroes of the Faith: A Study of Judges 1-8

by John Durham

We will live this life as conquerors or as the conquered. If a major movie studio and a highly capable director with several million dollars to spare would ever pick up the book of Judges, we would have one of the most epic movies of all times. For in the book of Judges are stories of battle, of good triumphing over evil, of intrigue and suspense, of family struggle, of love and betrayal, and of the type of person God loves to use in His Kingdom. All of us will either live this life as conquerors through Christ, or as those who have been conquered by the things of this world. Judges 1-8 gives us a great glimpse of how to live a life of victory, and that the greatest judge of all victory is Jesus!When you stand at a high-altitude over the Book of Judges there is something that quickly stands out. God uses people we might not ever choose. In fact, God almost seems to delight in asking the outsider and the uncertain to be His leader.You may feel weak.You may feel like a nobody.You may feel insignificant.You may feel unqualified.Every judge in the Old Testament could probably relate. But God loves to use those who may feel shaky or inferior or incapable. God is not looking for your ability, but your availability. Tell God today that you are His. Tell God today that you are available for any task, any calling, or any mission He has for you.And then...watch and listen. God wants you to be a CONQUEROR!
