Episode 34: The Lord Raised Up

In Episode 34, “The Lord Raised Up,”  Kim talks about the idea that God raises up individuals at certain times for certain tasks.

 

As we have been walking (very slowly) through the book of Judges, we have come upon Judges 2:16-19:

 

16 Then the Lord raised up judges to rescue the Israelites from their attackers. 17 Yet Israel did not listen to the judges but prostituted themselves by worshiping other gods. How quickly they turned away from the path of their ancestors, who had walked in obedience to the Lord’s commands.

18 Whenever the Lord raised up a judge over Israel, he was with that judge and rescued the people from their enemies throughout the judge’s lifetime. For the Lord took pity on his people, who were burdened by oppression and suffering. 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to their corrupt ways, behaving worse than those who had lived before them. They went after other gods, serving and worshiping them. And they refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

 

Although we know these judges just for the time of their lives where they were “raised up” as leaders of the Israelites, this side of heaven we will not know the other seasons of their lives and what God may have raised them up for during other seasons.

 

How about you? During this season of life, for what has God raised you up? How has you been preparing for such a time as this?
