Judges 18:11-13 Curiously

 ”And six hundred men of the family of the Danites went from there, from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭18‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


Curiously, they assembled an army of 600 men to fight for the city of Laish in the land of the tribe of Ephraim; yet they could not fight for the land of their own tribal allotment. For some reason (to them and often to us) a distant battle seemed easier than a close battle.” (Guzik)


”Then they went up and encamped in Kirjath Jearim in Judah. (Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. There it is, west of Kirjath Jearim.)“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭18‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


”And they passed from there to the mountains of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭18‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


Curiously 

We are no different as our human nature is identical to the Danites! 

“For some reason (to them and often to us) a distant battle seemed easier than a close battle.”

Lord, help us examine our hearts today and change them to be more like Jesus, in the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Blessings
