SO WHAT? (what will I do with what I have read today?)
For 40 days, Goliath swore against God. For 40 days he mocked God and Israel and the men of Israel. For 40 days, these battle hardened soldiers heard this mocking, they heard these insults. For 40 days, they did nothing. What happened? Why the apathy? Why the indifference? Was there not one who would take a stand?
You've heard it said before that all it takes for evil to exist is for good men to see evil and do nothing. Why do some choose to do nothing? Fear. Fear of what others will say. Fear of rejection. Fear of standing out. Fear of failing.
I read this passage today and I wonder - what will it take? What will it take for some to be moved to action? What will it take to stand up and share your faith? What will it take to drive the apathy out of your life? What will it take to see a need and meet that need?
Lord, help us. Move us. Give us courage and faith and power. YOUR power. YOUR strength. Oh Lord, move in and through the people of COV. Drive apathy and indifference on any level from our lives.
