*MARCH ON!*
Judges 5:21 NIV - The river Kishon swept them away,
the age-old river, the river Kishon.
MARCH ON, MY SOUL; BE STRONG!
Have you had days when you ever felt like stopping?
Days when you ever felt like quitting?
A friend of mine put her encouragement this way, " If you quit now, you'll end up right where you first began. And when you first began, you were desperate to be where you are right now. So don't quit! Keep going!"
Fetching water many times with an empty basket will surely be an unfruitful attempt at carrying water in the container. Nevertheless, it will end up cleaning up the basket very nicely. And that may be all that's needed. Sometimes, it's not about achieving some material things in all your going and coming. Sometimes, it's all about who you become in the process.
God is looking for warriors at heart, who will always take a stand for him. He wants soldiers and army materials and not civilians, people with whom he can win the world for Jesus.
The next time you feel like giving up on the thing you were created for, say aloud like Deborah "March on, my soul; be strong!" Judges 5:21b. Just keep going- that's what a march is all about.
Live Daily! It is the day the Lord has made.
