Judges 4:13-15 says 13 Sisera gathered together all his 900 iron war-wagons. He gathered together all the people who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon. 14 Deborah said to Barak, “Get up! For this is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. See, the Lord has gone out before you.” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and 10,000 men followed him. 15 The Lord brought trouble upon Sisera and all his war-wagons and all his army in front of Barak with the sword. Sisera got down from his war-wagon and ran away on foot. So what is it? What is it that keeps you from leaping out of bed with the attitude of this person in this picture. With exuberant JOY and CONFIDENCE? We sing songs like Awesome God, Our God, Nobody Greater, Mighty to Save...and many more but our approach to the day is............................. I think He can....really? In today's scripture Deborah/Barak's enemies had mounted an attack, their army was in position to destory them, but Deborah remember God's promise to them, and said THIS IS THE DAY.....and when they geared up (put on their battle gear), mounted their beasts and approached this front they saw those who were against them being driven out by none other than GOD!
I don't know what you are facing & what you are fearful of, but there are two scriptures that I think radiate from this excerpt that would be good for you to know, remember and recite when you don't get up as the VICTOR but rather like a VICTIM.
2. 2Tim. 1:7 (God doesn't give us the spirit of fear......He gives power, love and a sound mind)
This is why we are truly able to (if we choose to) get up with an attitude of all glory to Him! It's THIS DAY that HE has created that you might experience the strength & promises of GOD. No need to wait til tomorrow: HE's at work on your very behalfs today! So now all you have to focus on is not your issues or what's against you, but rather just simply LGLP!
