A Song of Praise and Blessing to our Lord

          In Judges 5 Deborah and Barak sing a song of thanksgiving to the Lord. The amazing words of this song give a detailed account of everything that took place for the Lord to have victory for the people of Israel.

         The song begins by acknowledging in verse 2, the people are willingly offering themselves to the Lord and it is also mentioned again in verse 9. This is how God wants our hearts to be: willing to trust in Him and obey. We need to give our hearts completely to our Father. Then in verse 4,: the song describes the sovereignty of our God. Our Lord marches before us and even the earth trembled and the heavens poured. The clouds also poured water. He allows rain to come from the clouds to serve His purpose, amazing how God is! This chapter has 31 verses of the featured account of the victory against Sisera; the chapter also states the men and women our Lord placed to destroy the commander of the army, and clearly illustrates the authority of our Lord.

          The story begins in chapter 4 – Deborah a prophetess and judge, knows God will go before her and Barak; she knows of His faithfulness and how He will release His people to peace for forty years. In chapter 4: 6 Deborah sent and called for Barak, and said to him, “Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded…..”

          As I finished reading Chapters 4 and 5 of Judges, I can sing a song every day of the Lord’s grace and love for me. The way God our Father reveals Himself everyday in the most amazing way. When I least expect it, He puts a smile on my face. God demonstrates His love for me every day in a way I know it can only be from Him.

          My Lord never fails; His faithfulness is always there; every day it’s a new adventure with Him.  I learn more of Him and the love He wants to show me.
          I can sing of Blessing God and Praising Him every day, for the peace of the Lord.

          Psalm 32: 7- 8 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

Glory to God
