Judges 5
Devotional:
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song: “Israel’s leaders took charge, and the people gladly followed. Praise the Lord! (Judges 5:1-2)
In this chapter, Deborah and Barak celebrate the victory God gave them over Jabin, the King of Canaan. The leaders in Israel took the lead and many of the people did their part, risking their lives (verse 18) as together they defeated their enemy. But unfortunately, not everyone joined in. The tribes of Reuben, Dan, Asher and Gilead as well as the people of the town of Meroz sat on the sidelines or stayed home. Where are you today? Are you using your gifts and abilities, joining with God’s people to share the good news of God’s love and forgiveness in Jesus? Or are you sitting on the sidelines? “Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). People will bless the Lord for you as you offer yourself willingly to serve Him.

Pray it:
Father, thank you for the gifts that you have given me to serve you and bless others. Help me to utilize them faithfully so that you may receive honor and praise. Amen.
