Day 77: Strength, BETRAYAL, And Chaos in Judges Judges 16-18 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 77 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover Judges 16-18, where Samson’s story reaches its dramatic peak with Delilah’s betrayal, his downfall, and his final act of strength. The narrative shifts to Israel’s spiraling chaos, with Micah’s idolatry and the theft of a priest, revealing a nation unmoored from God’s law.

Questions:
1. Samson’s vulnerability to Delilah in Judges 16 leads to his capture—what can his story teach us about the dangers of misplaced trust or unchecked desires?

2. Samson’s final prayer and act of destruction bring deliverance—how does this bittersweet end reflect both God’s mercy and the cost of disobedience?

3. In chapters 17-18, Micah’s homemade religion shows Israel’s moral drift—how do we guard against creating our own versions of faith instead of following God’s truth?
