Judges 3, 4

God left hostile nations in the Promised Land to give the new generation of His Children opportunity to learn warfare. It was a training exercise for the youth. They also needed to taste victory for themselves.

Young people need to learn to be overcomers. They learn through the things they go through. Much of their challenge is in their mind … gaining life skills and self-confidence to navigate life’s trials. They need to learn that total victory IS AVAILABLE through the Lord. It’s a shame if they don’t learn and carry weaknesses throughout the rest of their lives.

Though He (Christ Jesus) were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; [Hebrews 5:8]

I am grateful that God ALWAYS makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory. [2 Cor. 2:14]
