7th Religion -
1. Why do you think the Lord begins (Judges 6:7-10) by reminding the Israelites of what he has already done for them?
2. Why does the angel of the Lord call Gideon a "mighty warrior," since Gideon was hiding from the Midianites in a winepress?
3. The angel of the Lord told Gideon to "go in the strength you have."  When has the Lord said something similar to you? Describe that time.

7th Religion - Esther questions 4-6 due Thursday

4. Why does Esther ask all the city's Jews to fast (4:15-16)?
5. God is never named in the original Hebrew version of this story, nor does the writer mention prayer.  Where, if anywhere, do you see God in this story?
6. Esther's position was no accident, and neither is yours.  Think about the time and people among whom God has placed you.  What might God have for you to do right where you are now?
