Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD GOD of Israel. LORD, when Thou wentest out of Seir, when Thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD GOD of Israel. (Jdg 5:2-5)
Deborah sang a song of praise unto the Lord for the victory that GOD brought to Israel. She worshiped Him for His deliverance of His people. Though Barak led the armies against their enemies, and Jael nailed Sisera to the floor, it was GOD that gave them the victory. The Lord moved against the enemies of Israel, and they could not overcome the children of Israel. Chariots of iron, fields of soldiers, even the very mountains cannot stand before the LORD GOD Almighty.
If GOD be for us, who can be against us. Though in this life they may seem to be victorious for a season, or even have the upper hand against us for a time, GOD has already won. Our weapons are not carnal, or of this world, but mighty through GOD to the pulling down of strong holds. We don't war against the flesh, but against principalities and powers, that though they have some rule over the darkness of this world for now, they are on a short leash, and thanks be to GOD who hath given us the victory in and through our Lord Jesus Christ.
GOD, put on flesh and dwelt among us, and conquered sin, death, and the grave on that cruel Roman cross when He finished the payment for our sin. He took away all the ordinances which were against us, not so that we could sin all we want to, but so that we could live holy, victorious, and righteous lives in and through Him and shine as lights in this world, and dwell in Him and He in us, until He brings us into His presence and we are evermore with the Lord.
Until then we, as His ambassadors, are called to minister in His Name to those around us who are hurting and in need, as salt and light to a thirsty and dark world that needs to see and know the love of GOD. While we are here, as His children and members one of another, we are to love one another and disciple one another in the Word of GOD, that we may be equipped to heal, encouraged to shine, and enabled to the battle He has already won, as we grow into the image of His Son through His Word and in His Spirit. As long as He tarries we, as His witnesses, are to go out into this lost and dying world with the shining light of His Gospel and praise Him, and as we go, telling all who will hear of the Good News of Jesus Christ, that those who will hear and believe in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary and repent of their sins might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
