“So they said, “Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, and enter to possess the land.”
Judges 18:9 NKJV
Observation:
The tribe of Dan, at this point, still had not claimed a portion of land for themselves. When they had spied out a land that looked good, they asked a Levite about it and he told them the Lord said to go for it. When the spies came back to give their report, they said, “we have seen the land, and indeed it is very good. Would you do nothing?” They said, don’t hesitate, but let’s go conquer the land.
Application:
I know there are times in my life when God has made it quite clear that I was suppose to go after something and I hesitated until the opportunity had passed. Generally, I am like Gideon who wants a hundred confirmations before I do anything. Sometimes I need a good kick to say, “Would you do nothing?” There are some things in my life that I haven’t gone after and God is saying it is time to rise up and do something. There is a time to pray about things and a time to go after things God has already spoken about.
Prayer:
My Lord and My God, forgive me for the times I have done nothing when I knew You were speaking to me. Forgive me for seeking more and more confirmations when I know what I am suppose to do. Help me to walk by faith and take mountains for You and Your kingdom. Let the words, “Would you do nothing?” Ring in my ears to keep me moving forward for You and taking territory for You.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
