Not for the faint hearted

Whoever said that Christianity was only a crutch or was meant for little children certainly missed reading the book of Judges!  The stories of God working in the lives of the Israelites are certainly not fairy tales.  Take a look at this:

Judges 3:20-25 - Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his summer palace^g and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose from his seat, 21Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly. 22Even the handle sank in after the blade, which came out his back. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it. 23Then Ehud went out to the porch^h; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

24After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, “He must be relieving himself in the inner room of the house.” 25They waited to the point of embarrassment, but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their lord fallen to the floor, dead. 

Ehud went on to lead the Israelites into battle against the evil king of Moab, and they struck down 10,000 men.

Again, God raised up another judge, Shamgar, and this is what is said about him (3:31) - After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.

Our God has the power to save!
