The Books of Judges and Ruth cover about 400 years of Israel’s history after the death of Joshua.

As you read the chaotic and sometimes very disturbing stories from that period, I want you to look for God’s grace, especially how the people of God are never beyond the reach of His grace.

Does everything in Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther reflect exactly what God wanted them to do? There are things that are kind of abrupt and kind of forceful in Ezra and Nehemiah, and remember that Esther is part of the group that did not have enough faith to go back to Israel when they were freed. Just remember that God has plans that take in all sorts of things even when we may not do exactly what He wants us to do.
