Re:Verse passage – Judges 4:4-23, 5:7, 24-27 (day four)
Isn’t it amazing that God sometimes puts in place the elements for blessing, provision, and answered prayer before we ever are aware of our need? Heber the Kenite had left his kinsmen and moved far from his homeland. Most likely he had good reasons to leave and relocate, but probably never knew that it was God putting him in place so his wife could deliver Israel.
Have you ever experienced God’s provision in advance of your need? Probably. Have you ever considered that you might be the advanced provision for someone else’s need? God might be using you just as He did Jael. Jael did not get up that memorable morning knowing that she would be used of God that day in such a dramatic way. Your plans and actions may be carefully thought out and planned according to sound logic…always remember though who is really in control!
Wouldn’t it be great of we could hold fast to that thought – that in everything God is in control to the end? From the small things to the big – work, our children, our salvation. As a mom, my children’s future is always on my mind. What would happen if I let that go to God? He already knows. He already has a plan. My faith and prayers need to allow that, accept that, and deeply understand that He has it all worked out – from the daily minutia to the fulfillment of His plan. That is my prayer, that I – and we – can follow through with that knowledge.
