Joshua 23 - Judges 2

In 2 Kings 23, we read the most remarkable story of courage, a leader calling his people to be willing to abandon every aspect of their lives that displeases God and embrace everything that will bring Him delight. May such courage be found in all spiritual leaders today!

As King Josiah stood before the people in 2 Kings 23, he stood between the two great pillars of the temple, Jachin and Boaz, which translate respectively, "He shall establish & In it is strength." Life between the pillars, that is our calling, to live in absolute surrender to God and His way and then and only then will we be "established in the strength of His covenant!"

Here in the closing chapters of Joshua and the beginning moments of Judges, we find a nation moving in and out of the pillars...and the inevitable results of both predicaments, either unavoidably blessed or inescapably chastised.

Where are you?
