Daily Reading: Philippians 2-3
Devotion: Streams in the Desert
When they cried out to the Lord, He raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel..., Caleb's younger brother, who saved them. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him. (Judges 3:9-10)
God is continually preparing His heroes, and when the opportunity is right, He puts them into position in an instant. He works so fast, the world wonders where they came from.
Let the Holy Spirit prepare you, through the discipline of life. And when the finishing tough has been made on the sculpture, it will be easy for God to put you on display in the perfect place.
The day is coming when, like Othniel, we will also judge the nations and will rule and reign with Christ on earth during His millennial kingdom. But before that glorious day, we must allow God to prepare us, as He did Othniel at Kiriath Sepher (Judges 1:11-13) We must allow God to work amid our present trials and in the little victories, the future significance of which we can only imagine. Yet we can be sure that if the Holy Spirit has His way with us, the Lord of heaven and earth has also prepared for us a throne.
Every highway of life descends into the valley now and then. And everyone must fo through the tunnel of tribulation before they can travel on the high road of triumph.
