Many of us have the habit of coming up with New Year’s resolutions, liking losing weight, exercising, applying ourselves better at school or our job. We have good intentions, but they often don’t last very long. And if we’ve done it enough, we may even see a pattern of making (and breaking) the same resolutions every year, and we become aware of a cycle we can’t seem to break, even with the best of resolutions. That’s the story of Israel in the book of Judges.
