Soooooooo great to have you back in Tom. I get so much out of what you write. They inspire me to dig deeper (you'll notice my posts have got shorter of late).
"9 For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day." What about Ai? I guess he meant that ultimately noone would stand against, even if they did initially. That has to be our courageous stance in the face of opposition.
"31 Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the LORD which He had done for Israel." / "Judges2:10 When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel." Israel only continued to serve under those that had experienced the supernatural reality of God personally.
It is interesting that Judges ch1 starts with stories of victorious partnerships and ends with lists of individual failures: simple lesson there.
