In this Old Testament book of the Bible, we see God moving through various "judges" who were raised up at specific times to help the people of Israel. Although they were used by God, they were all flawed individuals. In the story of their lives we see God's mercy, grace, and willingness to use broken vessels for his glory. It's been said often, but worth repeating: God doesn't look at our ability, he looks at our availability. When we are willing to put our lives in his control he is willing to use us to do the impossible and improbable, as we see in the lives of these judges.
