Have you ever made a situation more complicated than it needed to be? The answer is yes. We have all done this. We get in our own way through thoughtless words and forgetful deeds. This disrupts our relationships and can even hinder our fellowship with God. Judges 2:6-3:6 provides the framework for the spiraling cycle of God’s judgment and deliverance throughout the book. The cycle starts (3:7-11) with Othniel who sets the standard of simple faith and fear whom God used to deliver His people.
