Do you fight against God?
BIBLE MEDITATION
"They fought from the heavens; the stars in their courses fought against
Sisera."
(Judges 5:20)
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT
Military strategists are still studying Napoleon. He was a great general but
full of ego. Napoleon marched against Russia with 500,000 hand-picked men.
What an army! As he marched across the plains of Russia, a snowflake kissed
his cheek. He brushed it off and laughed. Another came and then a handful.
And then bushels, and finally avalanches of snowflakes.
Napoleon's fine horses reared and plunged and floundered in the snow. His
army perished. Before it was over, Napoleon's finest lay frozen on the
plains of Russia. He retreated like a whipped puppy.
Napoleon had boasted, "God is on the side of the heaviest battalions." And
he was right. But he forgot that God puts His battalions in the skies.
The same thing happened to one of Israel's enemies, Sisera. This time, not
with snowflakes-but stars.
ACTION POINT
What are your odds if you stand against the plan of God? The stars in their
courses fought against Sisera and Napoleon, and they'll fight against anyone
who fights against God. Get into His Word. Learn His ways so He doesn't have
to send the stars to correct your course. One little snowflake will do. Seek
Him from the start!
