Judges 3:12-31 “Ehud And Shamgar”

God allowed hardship in the lives of the Israelites to (and don’t miss this) so they may know war, and to teach them to know war.
God was preparing them for battel!
Listen…this walk with Jesus…isn’t always a walk thorough a rose garden…sometimes it is a walk through a battlefield.
As Satan asks to sift us like wheat…our walk becomes a spiritual battlefield…in which we engage in spiritual warfare.
We must recognize the spiritual battle we are in…and the war isn’t subsiding…in fact it is growing in intensity.
John is told by the angel to write:
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” (Revelation 12:12 ESV)
Satan is intensifying his attacks because he knows his days are numbered…and he is on a short leash.
So, we must stay alert as he roams the earth looking for someone to devour…
