Today: [Judges Chapter Three]: The Dagger of God’s Word. In this chapter the first two judges are revealed by the names of Othniel and Ehud. Othniel was a descendant of Caleb and delivered Israel out of their first captivity in the time of the Judges. Ehud was an assassin ordained by God to remove a Moabite king. Ehud’s weapon of choice was a dagger he thrust into the king’s belly. We are often ruled by our belly, by our flesh nature. The only solution is to thrust the word of God into our own sinful flesh to expose the corruption there. In this way we become self correcting and thereby put ourselves in a position to break the bands of the enemy over our lives.
