Day 72: Incomplete VICTORIES And New beginnings - Insights From Judges 1-3 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

For Day 72 of our "Bible in a Year" playlist, we start the book of Judges with chapters 1-3. Following Joshua’s death, Israel struggles to fully claim the Promised Land, compromising with the Canaanites. This leads to a cycle of disobedience and deliverance as God raises judges like Othniel to rescue His people, revealing both human weakness and divine faithfulness.

Questions:
1. Why do you think some tribes in Judges 1 settled for incomplete victories, and how might we recognize similar compromises in our own lives?

2. Chapter 2 describes Israel’s tears after God’s rebuke, yet they repeat their mistakes—what can this teach us about genuine repentance versus temporary regret?

3. In chapter 3, God uses judges to deliver Israel despite their failings—how does this encourage us to trust His grace when we fall short?
