Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day.

Check out our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video in what we call Project23.

Our text today is Judges 10:1-2.

After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried at Shamir. — Judges 10:1-2

After the chaos and carnage of Abimelech’s reign, Israel didn’t need another flashy warrior. They needed rest. God raised up Tola—a judge whose legacy isn’t marked by a bunch of battles, but by stability. For twenty-three years, nothing dramatic is recorded. No rebellion. No mass bloodshed. Just peace and steady leadership.

Sometimes, no drama is a blessing, right?! God used this season to remind his people—and us—that his work isn’t only seen in the dramatic. Sometimes it is seen in a quiet season led by a faithful leader.

This is problematic for us because we live in a world addicted to drama. Our feeds refresh every few seconds with outrage, scandal, and noise. News thrives on shock value. Entertainment glorifies conflict. Even in our personal lives, we can get caught chasing the next crisis or feeding off the latest drama in our families, workplaces, or friendships.

But constant drama drains the soul. It spikes reaction, anxiety, and spiritual shallowness. Tola’s season, without a bunch of recorded drama, had to be a relief. Under his leadership, Israel had twenty-three years to breathe, reset, and realign. No battles. No fires to put out. Just space for hearts to return to God.

And maybe that’s what you need too—a season without noise. A time to simply be faithful and pursue God without drama. If you need this, ask God for it, and when it arrives, make sure you take advantage of the relief. Relief is a gift to reset your soul, recalibrate your heart, and draw you closer to Him. But it's also a time to safeguard your life from slipping back into spiritual laziness that leads to worshiping empty idols. One thing that always helps is a "Tola" who becomes for you an anchor for this time.

ASK THIS:

  1. Do I see “no drama” seasons as a gift from God?
  2. Where might I be chasing excitement instead of valuing faithfulness?
  3. How can I be steady for those around me this week?
  4. Who has been a “Tola” in my life, giving me stability when I needed it?

DO THIS:

Thank God today for the quiet blessings—the leaders, parents, mentors, or friends who brought peace instead of drama. Then choose one small act of faithfulness to steady someone else’s life.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, thank You for the gift of stability. Help me embrace quiet faithfulness as a blessing, even when it feels small, and let me be a steady presence in the lives of others. Amen.

PLAY THIS:

"Faithful Now."
