Chapter 2 values wisdom, authority and accountability for the Israelites. “10After the whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel . . . 16Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of their raiders.”

In reading the E100 Bible Study thus far, I have been constantly reminded of the Veggie Tales versions of the Old Testament stories because my oldest son watched them incessantly as a toddler. While Joe (Joseph) and Moe (Moses) had full length feature films, Josh and The Big Wall is a shorter episode of talking vegetables. This might lead one to think that the story does not have much practical application to everyday life, but I feel that God has given us this story for a reminder on using our voice.

Breath Prayer

A form of contemplative prayer linked to the rhythms of breathing:

1. Breathe in, calling on a biblical name or image of God
2. Breathe out a simple God-given desire

“Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

Biblical miracles are more tangible when I imagine myself inside the story. So to grasp the magnitude of this one, I picture myself being among a mass of families as numerous as the stars in the sky, all standing on the banks of a swift and swollen river. Except for Caleb and Joshua, we children of Hebrew slaves were all born free in the vast and dreadful desert, having cut our teeth on manna and still wearing sandals that will not wear out. We’ve seen the Lord in pillars of clouds and fire, and marveled at Moses’ radiant face. We know far more about being thirsty for water than having too much of it, and nearly nothing about conquering the inhabited cities of Canaan.
