DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, AUGUST 9, 2013
THE INHABITANTS OF THE VILLAGES CEASED
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:7
How and why did the inhabitants of the villages cease? They came to the end of their strivings. They figured out that their mother wit was faulty. Their witty inventions had failed. All hope was lost. Their investments were fake. Their idols broke. Their wells ran dry. Their lives were lies. They were weary. They were worn. They ceased from their own way because they realized that they needed nurturance from another source. This Deborah had a word from God. She had a power and a blessing to share. Finally, they were willing to listen, hear, and possibly believe. Finally, they knew the world had nothing for them. Finally, the door of the kingdom was opened.
