29th Strategy.
Called to Evaluate Our Choices
​

• Enter your time with the LORD in prayer.
• Read the entire passage.
• Does the passage call for an evaluation of choices made? If so, stop and re-read that section one time.
• Continue through the entire passage.
• After reading the passage through one time, go back and re-read the section calling for an evaluation.
• Would the choices you are facing in your life today be similar to the choices in the passage.
• Write them down on a sticky note, or underline them in your bible.
• Whatever you are being prompted to evaluate, write it down. (This will be a great source of strength for years to come.)
• Take these choices to the LORD. Ask Him to give you clarity on how to move forward.
• Tell Him you desire to make wise choices and you know you need His guidance.
• Ask God to broaden your vision for the passage.
• Thank Him for His guidance and praise Him for His words.
• (I encourage you to write down what God shows you.)

7. The Israelites did evil in the LORD'S sight. They forgot about the LORD their God, and they served the images of Baal and the Asherah poles.
8. Then the LORD burned with anger against Israel, and he turned them over to King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim. And the Israelites served Cushan-rishathaim for eight years. 

9. But when the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help, the LORD raised up rescuer to save them.  His name was Othniel, the son of Caleb's younger brother, Kenaz.
10. The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he became Israel's judge. He went to war against King Cushan-rishathaim of Aram, and the LORD gave Othniel victory over him.
22. So there was peace in the land for forty years. Then Othniel son of Kenaz died.
Judges 3:7-11 NLT
