Ep. 249 – Seven Unlikely Instruments in Judges
In the Book of Judges, God used unexpected, inanimate objects—an ox goad, a tent peg, a pitcher, a torch, a trumpet, a millstone, and a jawbone—to bring victory to His people. These objects had no power of their own, yet in the hands of a higher power, they played a crucial role in God’s divine plan. In this episode, Dr. Mark Rutland explores how these unconventional instruments teach us about availability, surrender, and the supernatural power of God. Like Paul in Corinth, we must determine to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified—saying “yes” to be used as His instrument, for His purpose, no matter how ordinary we may seem.
