UP!
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 4, 2012
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Judges 4:14
Look at Barak in this verse. He is mobilized by Deborah's encouragement. Barak moves with confidence, believing the words of Deborah: the Lord has gone out before thee. As this story unfolds we see nothing but action. We see that as Barak moves, the Lord moves with him. Barak goes down from the mount (4:14); the Lord discomfits the enemy (4:15); Barak pursues (4:22), and God subdues (4:23).
What victories are awaiting us as we get UP! God has a plan that He wants to execute through your life, through my life.
Today, let us be UP! Is not the Lord gone out before us?
