Many self-professing Christians bring up the phrase "judge not" in response to criticism or warning aimed at others, but we know we ought to judge rightly.

This was right judgement; God was already judging them by handing them over to Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia. + +Jesus told the disciples they will judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Revelation 21 speaks of the new Jerusalem having twelve gates, and the wall having twelve foundations, each with the name of one of the twelve "apostles of the Lamb". +Perhaps this is where we get the idea of Saint Peter checking names in front of the pearly gates.

Yahweh shall rule over you.” + +What did Gideon do wrong here? + +First, he made an ephod out of the golden earings, and placed it in a prominent location. People worshipped that, instead of Yahweh. It snared even Gideon and his family. +Secondly, he took many wives. He did not hold fast to his wife as Genesis 2:24 describes. He acted as the pagan kings would act, not following God's plan for love and union. +Third, he did not teach his children to follow Yahweh. He had a child by a concubine. In chapter 9, it's seen how Abimelech allies with his mother's family against the sons of his father. While Gideon and his house were snared by the ephod, Abimelech likely spent a lot of time with his mother in Shechem, as that's where it's clear his loyalties lie. + +What can we learn from Gideon's legacy? + +Even if God uses you, you must be humble! Are you demolishing idols only to replace them with other idols? While Gideon's heart started in the right place, he was led astray by his own success. + +Hold fast to Christ! Obey God's commands!

Then he called hastily to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, that men not say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’ His young man thrust him through, and he died.” When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they each departed to his place. Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers; and God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them. +Judges 9:53-57 + +Abimelech's ‘way’ was murdering his brothers. God, after 3 years, brought him to justice (see Genesis 9:6). How much different is our way?

He was called ”a man after God's heart”, and we see that here, like God, he detests sin. Recall stories of David's later years (Amnon and Tamar comes to mind): his house was full of sin! Why couldn't David get a handle on this? Can anyone clean their house of sin? + + +>From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. +John 1:16-17 + +We know the law through Moses, but are given grace through the love of Christ. So, should we keep sinning, since we are under grace and not under the law? May it never be so!

To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises. +Psalms 101:1 + +God (Father, Son, and Spirit) *is* a God of love AND justice. Halelujah! Cleanse us of sins.

You will see greater things than those! In truth I tell you,” he added, “you will all see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” +John 1:50-51 + +Was Nathanael naïve? Jesus only said he saw Nathanael under the fig tree. Anyone could have seen him under the fig tree, right? +If your brother claimed to have met a prophet, would you believe if the guy just complemented you, and related some afternoon occurance to you? How much more if your brother claimed this was THE Messiah. Maybe Nathanael believed there was something special about his time under the fig tree. We don't know, but we *do* know that Christ also questioned Nathanael's faith. + +Jesus follows up His rhetorical question by promising more amazing signs. Luke 24:51 records the ascension: He was 'carried up into heaven.' But even greater will be the day we rise with Christ. The dead in Christ will rise; He will descend from the sky with the new Jerusalem. What an amazing sight that will be! + +But until then, is it foolish to follow Him? Christ was raised! Hundreds saw Him alive firsthand. God gave us the scriptures so we may read the testimony; He gave us His Spirit so we can walk in His ways. + +God, help me to discern my steps, and walk according to the truth. Thank you for the power to overcome the world through Your Son. + +# 2021-05-04 Keep Her Clean + +> He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. ... + +> The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands. The person who believes in the Son has eternal life, while a person who rejects the Son will not even see that life, but remains under God’s displeasure. +John 3 + +Recall the story of the Levite, his concubine, and the Benjamites (Judges 19-20). The story parallels Sodom and Gomorrah: they're warned against staying in the town square, surrounded by a lustful homosexual mob, the crowd is offered a virgin to appease their desires. Don't live in Gibeah! Israelites were supposed to be God's people, following His law; how could one of *their* cities behave so wickedly? + +The Levite (the husband of the murdered woman (20:4)) failed to protect her. She left him (for her father's house) out of anger or faithlessness. He leaves her to the crowd for convenience or fear. Why, after going through great lengths to retrieve her, would he toss her out on the streets? "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." The Levite didn't expect to lose his concubine, but certainly wasn't trying to keep her clean. + +How should we treat an unfaithful woman? We are the unfaithful. Christ came for us sinners. Follow Him! He won't throw you out, but will faithfully complete His perfecting work in your life. + +``` +I will sing to the Lᴏʀᴅ while I live, + I will play to my God while I am. +May my musing be sweet to him, + for I rejoice in the Lᴏʀᴅ. +But may sinners be swept from the earth, + and the wicked vanish forever. +``` + +Psalm 104 + + +# 2021-05-06 Improper proposition? + +> “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before. May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” + +> She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.” + +Why shouldn't it be known what it is that she did? + +> A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold. +Proverbs 22:1 + +Ruth's good name preceded her. When (bachelor) Boaz met her, he blessed her, asking God to fully repay her for her kindness. As a wealthy man, he encouraged her to glean at his fields, where he knew it would be safe. + +When Ruth (at the behest of Naomi) propositions Boaz, he shows that he has already put some thought into the arrangement. To preserve their reputation, he has her leave before notice (though not before morning). God does reward her, having *her* name in the line of David, in the line of Christ. + +Keeping a good name takes intentional work. God, give the wisdom to keep a good name. + +# 2021-05-07 + +> “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.
