My Bible reading plan has me going through the book of Judges right now.  When I started reading it, I admit that I wasn’t terribly excited.  Something like, “Great.  Another boring Old Testament book that seemingly has no application whatsoever to my life.”  Today, I’ll read the final chapters and move on to Ruth.  I have to say, I’ve enjoyed reading through Judges – much more than I thought.  I mean, you can’t go wrong with the story of Eglon and Ehud.  I’ll spare the details, but what a great, somewhat funny story.  And, in chapter 19, I sort of get a kick out of the father-in-law that won’t let his Levite son-in law go home.  And, of course, the story of Samson.  There is deeper application to the book than I will get into here, but it’s just another very clear example that all of Scripture is profitable to our lives.
