Move forward...

Judges 5:15-16

15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
yes, Issachar was with Barak,
rushing after him into the valley.
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.

16 Why did you stay among the campfires
to hear the whistling for the flocks?
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.

15 以 薩 迦 的 首 領 與 底 波 拉 同 來 ； 以 薩 迦 怎 樣 ， 巴 拉 也 怎 樣 。 眾 人 都 跟 隨 巴 拉 衝 下 平 原 ； 在 流 便 的 溪 水 旁 有 心 中 定 大 志 的 。

16 你 為 何 坐 在 羊 圈 內 聽 群 中 吹 笛 的 聲 音 呢 ？ 在 流 便 的 溪 水 旁 有 心 中 設 大 謀 的 。

These passages were read on Friday morning's prayer meeting. The entire chapter was similar to a psalm in that it is a song that Deborah composed. Of all the words, these words captivated me...

With all the things that the Lord has revealed to my heart and the goals that I've set in my heart... why did I just sit within the flocks by the campfires to listen to the whistles? I should be engaging "rushing after him into the valley" toward the land and take it as it is God's promised inheritance.

Why am I searching my heart after that it is already confirmed? No hesitation now... we are moving forward. We are moving straight forward. It's time for me to rise up and answer the call instead of listening to the whistles by the campfire.

Lord, strengthen my heart and steadfast my actions!!!
