“When you feel like it’s too hard to obey God, remember
that He will never tell you to do something without giving you the grace, power
and ability to do it” (Joyce Meyer).
Deborah was a prophet who was leading Israel. Sisera was
harassing Israel at the time. Deborah sent for a man named Barak. Barak was to
lead 10,000 Israelites against Sisera. To this Barak says that he wants Deborah
to go with him. This does not seem like faith.
In the end Barak and Deborah go and defeat Sisera. Even
though Barak does not obey God right away in the end Barak follows orders. He
trust and obeys. Would it have been better for Barak to trust in God right
away? Yes, but in the end he chooses to obey God. That is what is important. We
need to try to be like Barak. When we are called to do something we must trust
and obey God.
So, will you obey God no matter what he calls you to do?
Will you trust that God has a plan?
