As we continue through the history of the nation of Israel we have the hand of God as they conquered and settled the Promised Land. We see in the book of Joshua how God uses Joshua to divide the land and give it in inheritance to the tribes and leaves them with instructions so that they might live in peace in the land.

In the book of Judges we saw, as the tribes were a loose “confederation” and their partial obedience to the commands given by Joshua. This cost them to live in a cycle of getting away from God, being under their enemies oppression, asking God for help, getting closer to God and starting again. We examined our lives and found we are not much better. If not for the grace of God we would not be where we are. Praise be to God.

In the book of Ruth we found the concept of a kinsman redeemer and found a “love story” that reminds us of the love God has for us that redeemed us from the world to be part of Him.
